Job 6:23-27
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
23Or, ‘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. 25How painful are honest words! But what does your argument prove? 26Do you intend to rebuke my words, When the words of one in despair belong to the wind? 27You would even cast lots for the orphans, And barter over your friend.King James Version
Chapter 6
23Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty? 24Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred. 25How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove? 26Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind? 27Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 6
23or "Deliver me from the enemy's hand" or "Redeem me from the hand of the ruthless"? 24Teach me, and I will be silent. Help me understand what I did wrong. 25How painful honest words can be! But what does your rebuke prove? 26Do you think that you can disprove my words or that a despairing man's words are mere wind?New Living Translation
Chapter 6
23Have I asked you to rescue me from my enemies, or to save me from ruthless people? 24Teach me, and I will keep quiet. Show me what I have done wrong. 25Honest words can be painful, but what do your criticisms amount to? 26Do you think your words are convincing when you disregard my cry of desperation? 27You would even send an orphan into slavery or sell a friend.English Standard Version
Chapter 6
23Or, ‘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. 25How forceful are upright words! But what does reproof from you reprove? 26Do you think that you can reprove words, when the speech of a despairing man is wind? 27You would even cast lots over the fatherless, and bargain over your friend.New International Version
Chapter 6
23deliver me from the hand of the enemy, rescue me from the clutches of the ruthless'? 24Teach me, and I will be quiet; show me where I have been wrong. 25How painful are honest words!
