Job 6:22

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.

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.
