Job 6:20-28
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
20
They were put to shame, for they had trusted,
They came there and were humiliated.
21
Indeed, you have now become such,
You see terrors and are afraid.
22
Have I said, ‘Give me
something,
’
Or, ‘Offer a bribe for me from your wealth,’
23
Or, ‘Save me from the hand of the enemy,’
Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the tyrants’?
24
'Teach me, and I will be silent;
And show me how I have done wrong.
25
How painful are honest words!
But what does your argument prove?
26
Do you intend to rebuke
my
words,
When the words of one in despair belong to the wind?
27
You would even cast
lots
for the orphans,
And barter over your friend.
28
Now please look at me,
And
see
if I am lying to your face.
King James Version
Chapter 6
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 6
20
They are ashamed because they had been confident of finding water.
When they arrive there, they are disappointed.
21
So this is what you have now become to me.
When you see something dreadful, you are afraid.
22
Have I ever said: "Give me something"
or "Pay a bribe for me from your wealth"
23
or "Deliver me from the enemy’s hand"
or "Redeem me from the hand of the ruthless"?
24
Teach me, and I will be silent.
Help me understand what I did wrong.
25
How painful honest words can be!
But what does your rebuke prove?
26
Do you think that you can disprove my words
or that a despairing man’s words are mere wind?
27
No doubt you would cast lots for a fatherless child
and negotiate a price to sell your friend.
28
But now, please look at me;
I will not lie to your face.
New Living Translation
Chapter 6
20
They count on it but are disappointed.
When they arrive, their hopes are dashed.
21
You, too, have given no help.
You have seen my calamity, and you are afraid.
22
But why? Have I ever asked you for a gift?
Have I begged for anything of yours for myself?
23
Have I asked you to rescue me from my enemies,
or to save me from ruthless people?
24
Teach me, and I will keep quiet.
Show me what I have done wrong.
25
Honest words can be painful,
but what do your criticisms amount to?
26
Do you think your words are convincing
when you disregard my cry of desperation?
27
You would even send an orphan into slavery
or sell a friend.
28
Look at me!
Would I lie to your face?
English Standard Version
Chapter 6
20
They are ashamed because they were confident;
they come there and are disappointed.
21
For you have now become nothing;
you see my calamity and are afraid.
22
Have I said, ‘Make me a gift’?
Or, ‘From your wealth offer a bribe for me’?
23
Or, ‘Deliver me from the adversary 's hand’?
Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the ruthless’?
24
"Teach me, and I will be silent;
make me understand how I have gone astray.
25
How forceful are upright words!
But what does reproof from you reprove?
26
Do you think that you can reprove words,
when the speech of a despairing man is wind?
27
You would even cast lots over the fatherless,
and bargain over your friend.
28
"But now, be pleased to look at me,
for I will not lie to your face.
New International Version
Chapter 6
20
They are distressed, because they had been confident;
they arrive there, only to be disappointed.
21
Now you too have proved to be of no help;
you see something dreadful and are afraid.
22
Have I ever said, ‘Give something on my behalf,
pay a ransom for me from your wealth,
23
deliver me from the hand of the enemy,
rescue me from the clutches of the ruthless’?
24
"Teach me, and I will be quiet;
show me where I have been wrong.
25
How painful are honest words!
But what do your arguments prove?
26
Do you mean to correct what I say,
and treat my desperate words as wind?
27
You would even cast lots for the fatherless
and barter away your friend.
28
"But now be so kind as to look at me.
Would I lie to your face?
New King James Version
Chapter 6
20
They are disappointed because they were confident;
They come there and are confused.
21
For now you are nothing,
You see terror and are afraid.
22
Did I ever say, ‘Bring
something
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 oppressors’?
24
“Teach me, and I will hold my tongue;
Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
25
How forceful are right words!
But what does your arguing prove?
26
Do you intend to rebuke
my
words,
And the speeches of a desperate one,
which are
as wind?
27
Yes, you overwhelm the fatherless,
And you undermine your friend.
28
Now therefore, be pleased to look at me;
For I would never lie to your face.
