Read in context

Job 6:19–23 · Berean Standard Bible

19 The caravans of Tema look for water; the travelers of Sheba hope to find it.

20 They are confounded because they had hoped; their arrival brings disappointment.

21 For now you are of no help; you see terror, and you are afraid.

22 Have I ever said, ‘Give me something; offer me a bribe from your wealth;

23 deliver me from the hand of the enemy; redeem me from the grasp of the ruthless’?
