Job 6:25-27

American Standard Version

²⁵How forcible are words of uprightness!
But your reproof, what doth it reprove?
²⁶Do ye think to reprove words,
Seeing that the speeches of one that is desperate are ^[a]as wind?
²⁷Yea, ye would cast lots upon the fatherless,
And make merchandise of your friend.
