Job 6:24,25 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Teach me Instead of censuring and reproaching, instruct and convince me by solid arguments; and I will hold my tongue I will patiently hear and gladly receive your counsels; and cause me to understand wherein I have erred Show me my mistakes and miscarriages; for I am ready to receive your reproofs, and humbly to submit to them. How forcible are right words! The words of truth and solid argument have a marvellous power to convince and persuade a man; and, if yours were such, I should readily yield to them. But what doth your arguing reprove? There is no truth in your assertions, nor weight in your arguments, and therefore they are of no account, and have no power with me.
