King James Version
"Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?"
— Job 6:26, King James Version
“Do ye think to reprove words, Seeing that the speeches of one that is desperate are as wind? ”
“Do you intend to reprove words, since the speeches of one who is desperate are as wind?”
“Do you intend to criticize mere words, and treat the words of a despairing man as wind?”
“You dress up speeches only to rebuke, and you utter words to the wind.”
“My words may seem wrong to you, but the words of him who has no hope are for the wind.”
“Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?”
Or, Deliver me from the enemy’s hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?
Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?
Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.
Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.
Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.
