Job 6:25-29
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
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. 28Now please look at me, And see if I am lying to your face. 29Please turn away, let there be no injustice; Turn away, my righteousness is still in it.King James Version
Chapter 6
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. 28Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie. 29Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.Christian Standard Bible
New Living Translation
Chapter 6
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. 28Look at me! Would I lie to your face? 29Stop assuming my guilt, for I have done no wrong.English Standard Version
Chapter 6
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. 28“But now, be pleased to look at me, for I will not lie to your face. 29Please turn; let no injustice be done. Turn now; my vindication is at stake.New International Version
