Job 6:23

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;

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?

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
