Job 6:14-30 - You Have Not Treated Me Like True Friends
14 To him who is afflicted, pity is due from his friend, but he forsakes the fear of the Almighty. 15 My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a torrent; they pass away as the streams of torrents, 16 torrents black from ice, in which the snow hides itself. 17 When they become warm, they go away; when it is hot, they vanish out of their place. 18 The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing and are lost. 19 The troops of Tema looked; the companies of Sheba hoped for them. 20 They were ashamed because they had hoped; they came there and were ashamed. 21 Surely now you are like them; you see my casting down, and are afraid. 22 Did I say, Give to me? or, Offer a bribe for me from your wealth; 23 or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand; or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
24 Teach me, and I will be silent; and cause me to understand where I have gone astray. 25 Right words are powerful, but what does your arguing argue? 26 Do you intend to criticize words, and the speeches of one who is hopeless, that are as wind? 27 Yea, you cause anger to fall on the fatherless, and you dig a pit for your friend.
28 And now, please look on me; for if I lie, it is before your face. 29 Turn back, please let there be no sin; yea, return again, my righteousness is in this matter. 30 Is there wrong in my tongue? Cannot my taste discern desirable things?
