Job 6:25-30
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 6

25How painful are honest words! But what does your argument prove? 26Do you intend to rebuke my words, When the words of one in despair belong to the wind? 27You would even cast lots for the orphans, And barter over your friend. 28Now please look at me, And see if I am lying to your face. 29Please turn away, let there be no injustice; Turn away, my righteousness is still in it. 30Is there injustice on my tongue? Does my palate not discern disasters?
King James Version

Chapter 6

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. 28Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.
29Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.
30Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 6

25How painful honest words can be! But what does your rebuke prove? 26Do you think that you can disprove my words or that a despairing man’s words are mere wind?
27No doubt you would cast lots for a fatherless child and negotiate a price to sell your friend. 28But now, please look at me; I will not lie to your face. 29Reconsider; don’t be unjust. Reconsider; my righteousness is still the issue. 30Is there injustice on my tongue or can my palate not taste disaster?
New Living Translation

Chapter 6

25Honest words can be painful, but what do your criticisms amount to? 26Do you think your words are convincing when you disregard my cry of desperation? 27You would even send an orphan into slavery or sell a friend. 28Look at me! Would I lie to your face? 29Stop assuming my guilt, for I have done no wrong. 30Do you think I am lying? Don’t I know the difference between right and wrong?
English Standard Version

Chapter 6

25How forceful are upright words! But what does reproof from you reprove? 26Do you think that you can reprove words, when the speech of a despairing man is wind? 27You would even cast 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 Please turn; let no injustice be done. Turn now; my vindication is at stake. 30Is there any injustice on my tongue? Cannot my palate discern the cause of calamity?
New International Version

Chapter 6

25How painful are honest words! But what do your arguments prove? 26Do you mean to correct what I say, and treat my desperate words as wind?
27You would even cast lots for the fatherless and barter away your friend. 28"But now be so kind as to look at me. Would I lie to your face? 29Relent, do not be unjust; reconsider, for my integrity is at stake. 30Is there any wickedness on my lips? Can my mouth not discern malice?
New King James Version

Chapter 6

25How forceful are right words! But what does your arguing prove? 26Do you intend to rebuke my words, And the speeches of a desperate one, which are as wind? 27Yes, you overwhelm the fatherless, And you undermine your friend. 28Now therefore, be pleased to look at me; For I would never lie to your face. 29 Yield now, let there be no injustice! Yes, concede, my righteousness still stands! 30Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern the unsavory?
