Job 6:26Job 6:28
Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.
Job asserts that the friends would even cast lots for the orphan and barter for the widow, suggesting that they are willing to exploit the vulnerable in pursuit of their own interests. The charges of commercializing suffering and exploiting the bereaved reveal how deeply Job perceives his friends' callousness. The accusations become increasingly harsh, suggesting that Job experiences their counsel as a kind of predatory violence.
