Bible verse
Have I ever said, ‘Give me something; offer me a bribe from your wealth;
Job 6:22 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 6.
18 Caravans turn aside from their routes; they go into the wasteland and perish.
19 The caravans of Tema look for water; the travelers of Sheba hope to find it.
20 They are confounded because they had hoped; their arrival brings disappointment.
21 For now you are of no help; you see terror, and you are afraid.
22 Have I ever said, ‘Give me something; offer me a bribe from your wealth;
23 deliver me from the hand of the enemy; redeem me from the grasp of the ruthless’?
24 Teach me, and I will be silent. Help me understand how I have erred.
25 How painful are honest words! But what does your argument prove?
26 Do you intend to correct my words, and treat as wind my cry of despair?
