Job 6:24

Read in context

Job 6:22–26 · Berean Standard Bible

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’?

24 Teach me, and I will be silent. Help me understand how I have erred.

25 How painful are honest words! But what does your argument prove?

26 Do you intend to correct my words, and treat as wind my cry of despair?
