Job 6:25

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.

How painful are honest words! But what does your argument prove?

²⁶ Do you intend to correct my words, and treat as wind my cry of despair?

²⁷ You would even cast lots for an orphan and barter away your friend.
