24 “Teach me and I, for my part, will be silent;explain to me how I have been mistaken.
25 How painful are honest words!But what does your reproof prove?
26 Do you intend to criticize mere words,and treat the words of a despairing man as wind?
27 Yes, you would gamble for the fatherless,and auction off your friend.
28 “Now then, be good enough to look at me;and I will not lie to your face!
29 Relent, let there be no falsehood;reconsider, for my righteousness is intact!
30 Is there any falsehood on my lips?Can my mouth not discern evil things?
