Job 6:28

IntegrityTruth and honesty

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.

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

29 Reconsider; do not be unjust. Reconsider, for my righteousness is at stake.

30 Is there iniquity on my tongue? Can my mouth not discern malice?

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