Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.

Verse 27 is found in chapter 6 of Job. Job reproaches his friends for failing precisely when he needed compassion most. He compares them to streams that appear promising but disappear when they are needed. He asks them to point out his specific error, showing that he is willing to hear correction if it can be demonstrated. The discussion begins shifting toward the central question: what specific sin could justify such suffering?

Ihr fielet wohl über einen armen Waisen her und grübet eurem Nachbarn Gruben.
También os arrojáis sobre el huérfano, Y hacéis hoyo delante de vuestro amigo.
Vous accablez un orphelin, Vous persécutez votre ami.
E pure ancora voi vi gittate addosso all’orfano, E cercate di far traboccare il vostro amico.
Mas antes lançais sortes sobre o órfão; e cavais uma cova para o amigo.
你們甚至為孤兒抽籤, 把朋友當貨物。
