Holy Scripture

Job 6:26

A church father on this verse
“Job's words mean … "It is likely you have suffered the same in many things." Truth, however, is always hateful to many. Therefore, you despise my words of truth. "You do not come down to me," Job says, "nor do you speak about the gifts of grace like people who desire to encourage. On the contrary, you accuse me openly…”
Olympiodorus of Alexandria, 6th c. — COMMENTARY ON JOB 6:24-27

In context

24Teach ye me, and I will be silent: If in anything I have erred, tell me.

25But as it seems, the words of a true man are vain, Because I do not ask strength of you.

— Job 6:26 —

27Even because ye attack the fatherless, And insult your friend.

28But now, having looked upon your countenances, I will not lie.
