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