THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Job 6:27 in context

Job 6:24–30

“Teach me, and I will hold my peace.

Cause me to understand my error.

How forcible are words of uprightness!

But your reproof, what does it reprove?

Do you intend to reprove words,

since the speeches of one who is desperate are as wind?

Selected verse

Yes, you would even cast lots for the fatherless,

and make merchandise of your friend.

Now therefore be pleased to look at me,

for surely I will not lie to your face.

Please return.

Let there be no injustice.

Yes, return again.

My cause is righteous.

Is there injustice on my tongue?

Can’t my taste discern mischievous things?
