22. Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?
23. Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
24. Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand how I have erred.
25. How forceful are right words! but what does your arguing prove?
26. Do you intend to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?
27. Yea, you overwhelm the fatherless, and you dig a pit for your friend.

29. Return, I pray you, let it not be injustice; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.
30. Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?
