19 The caravans of Tema (desert) look for water; the travelers of Sheba (seven) hope to find it. 20 They are confounded because they had hoped; their arrival brings disappointment. 21 For now you⁺ are of no help; you⁺ see terror, and you⁺ are afraid. 22 Have I ever said, ‘Give me something; offer me a bribe from your⁺ wealth; 23 deliver me from the hand of the enemy; redeem me from the grasp of the ruthless’? 24 Teach me, and I will be silent. Help me understand how I have erred. 25 How painful are honest words! But what does your⁺ argument prove? 26 Do you⁺ intend to correct my words, and treat as wind {ruach} my cry of despair? 27 You⁺ would even cast lots for an orphan and barter away your⁺ friend. 28 But now, please look at me. Would I lie to your⁺ face? 29 Reconsider; do not be unjust. Reconsider, for my righteousness is at stake. 30 Is there iniquity on my tongue? Can my mouth not discern malice?
