Job 6:26

Words and speechDiscouragement and depressionFriendship

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?

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.

28 But now, please look at me. Would I lie to your face?

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
