Job 6:17-30
-
17 What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
-
18 The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
-
19 The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
-
20 They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.
-
21 For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.
-
22 Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?
-
23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
-
24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
-
25 How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?
-
26 Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?
-
27 Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.
-
28 Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.
-
29 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.
-
30 Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?
