19 For they have looked toward the roads of the south, and have waited for the paths of Sheba. 20 They are ashamed in what they had hoped; they came there, and were confounded. 21 You also have become such to me; because before you saw terror, you were afraid. 22 Did I say, Bring me a present? Or from your wealth offer a bribe for my sake? 23 Or rescue me from my oppressor's hands; or deliver me from the hand of the mighty? 24 Teach me, and I will be silent; and cause me to understand wherein I have erred. 25 Why do you reject the words of truth? Who of you are able to rebuke and chastise? 26 Behold you are seeking to find words with which to reprove, and against my soul you are conjuring up words. 27 Behold, you overwhelm the fatherless, and you grieve your friend. 28 Now therefore listen and take heed, and I will speak in your presence, and will not lie. 29 Repent, I pray you, and do not become like ungodly men; repent therefore and be justified. 30 Is there iniquity in my tongue? Or does not my mouth speak truth? Job 6:19-30, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
