Job 6:14-30

14 “He who ^awithholds ^{▼▼Syriac, Vulgate (compare Targum); the meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain} kindness from a ^cfriend
forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15 My ^dbrothers are ^etreacherous as a torrent-bed,
as torrential ^fstreams that pass away,
16 which are dark with ice,
and where the snow hides itself.
17 When they melt, they disappear;
when it is hot, they vanish from their place.
18 The caravans turn aside from their course;
they go up into ^gthe waste and perish.
19 The caravans of ^hTema look,
the travelers of ⁱSheba hope.
20 They are ^jashamed because they were confident;
they come there and are ^kdisappointed.
21 For you have now become nothing;
you see my calamity and are afraid.
22 Have I said, ‘Make me a gift’?
Or, ‘From your wealth offer a bribe for me’?
23 Or, ‘Deliver me from the adversary’s hand’?
Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of ^lthe ruthless’?
24 “Teach me, and I will be silent;
make me understand how I have gone astray.
25 How forceful are upright words!
But what does reproof from you reprove?
26 Do you think that you can reprove words,
when the speech of a despairing man is ^mwind?
27 You would even ⁿcast lots over the fatherless,
and bargain over your friend.
28 “But now, be pleased to look at me,
for I will not lie to your face.
29 ^oPlease turn; let no injustice be done.
Turn now; my vindication is at stake.
30 Is there any injustice on my tongue?
Cannot my palate discern the cause of calamity?
