New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 6
22 But why? Have I ever asked you for a gift? Have I begged for anything of yours for myself?
23 Have I asked you to rescue me from my enemies, or to save me from ruthless people?
24 Teach me, and I will keep quiet. Show me what I have done wrong.
25 Honest words can be painful, but what do your criticisms amount to?
26 Do you think your words are convincing when you disregard my cry of desperation?
27 You would even send an orphan into slavery or sell a friend.
28 Look at me! Would I lie to your face?
29 Stop assuming my guilt, for I have done no wrong.
30 Do you think I am lying? Don’t I know the difference between right and wrong?
Job 7
1 “Is not all human life a struggle? Our lives are like that of a hired hand,
2 like a worker who longs for the shade, like a servant waiting to be paid.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
