King James Version

Job 6:24-30

24Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

25How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?

26Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?

27Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.1

28Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.2

29Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.3

30Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?4
