21. It is thus that you have now become for me;you see a terrifying thing and are afraid.
22. Have I said, “Give me something,make a bribe on my behalf from your possessions”?
23. Or “Deliver me from the hand of the enemy,redeem me from oppressors”?
24. Teach me, and I will be silent;make me understand how I have erred.
25. How painful honest words can be;yet how unconvincing is your argument!
26. Do you consider your words as proof,but the sayings of a desperate man as wind?
27. You would even cast lots for the orphan,and would barter over your friend!
