New King James Version

Job 6:24-30 New King James Version (NKJV)

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.

28. Now therefore, be pleased to look at me;For I would never lie to your face.

29. Yield now, let there be no injustice!Yes, concede, my righteousness still stands!

30. Is there injustice on my tongue?Cannot my taste discern the unsavory?
