Teach me, and I will be silent. Help me understand how I have erred.
Job 6:24 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 6.
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?

28 But now, please look at me. Would I lie to your face?
