"You encroach upon the orphan, and you strive to undermine your friend. "
— Job 6:27, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.”
“Yea, ye would castlotsupon the fatherless, And make merchandise of your friend. ”
“Yes, you would even cast lots for the fatherless, and make merchandise of your friend.”
“Yes, you would gamble for the fatherless, and auction off your friend.”
“You rush in upon the fatherless, and you endeavour to overthrow your friend.”
“Truly, you are such as would give up the child of a dead man to his creditors, and would make a profit out of your friend.”
“Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.”
Teach me, and I will be silent, and if by chance I have been ignorant of anything, instruct me.
Why have you diminished the words of truth, when there is none of you who is able to offer proof against me?
You prepare speeches as so much noise, and you offer words into the wind.
You encroach upon the orphan, and you strive to undermine your friend.
Such is true, so finish what you have begun. Listen closely, and see if I lie.
Respond, I beg you, without contention, and, speaking what is just, pass judgment.
And you will not find iniquity on my tongue, nor will foolishness resound in my throat.
