New King James Version

Job 6:20-27 New King James Version (NKJV)

20. They are disappointed because they were confident;They come there and are confused.

21. For now you are nothing,You see terror and are afraid.

22. Did I ever say, ‘Bring something to me’?Or, ‘Offer a bribe for me from your wealth’?

23. Or, ‘Deliver me from the enemy’s hand’?Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of oppressors’?

24. “Teach me, and I will hold my tongue;Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

25. How forceful are right words!But what does your arguing prove?

26. Do you intend to rebuke my words,And the speeches of a desperate one, which are as wind?

27. Yes, you overwhelm the fatherless,And you undermine your friend.
