Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the tyrants’?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:24 - “Teach me, and I will be silent;
And show me how I have erred.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:25 - “How painful are honest words!
But what does your argument prove?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:26 - “Do you intend to reprove my words,
When the words of one in despair belong to the wind?

And barter over your friend.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:28 - “Now please look at me,
And see if I lie to your face.

Even desist, my righteousness is yet in it.

Cannot my palate discern [fn]calamities?
