Did I say, Give unto me? Or, Offer a present for me of your substance?
“Did I ever say, ‘Give me something,’ Or, ‘Pay a bribe for me from your wealth,’
Did I ever say, Bring me a gift, or Pay a bribe on my account from your wealth

Have I ever said, “Give me something” or “Pay a bribe for me from your wealth”
Have I ever said, ‘Give me something’ or ‘Pay a bribe for me from your wealth’

Is it because I have said, ‘Give to me,’ or, ‘Offer a bribe for me from your wealth’?
But why? Have I ever asked you for one slightest thing? Have I begged you for a present?
“When desperate people give up on God Almighty, their friends, at least, should stick with them. But my brothers are fickle as a gulch in the desert— one day they’re gushing with water From melting ice and snow cascading out of the mountains, But by midsummer they’re dry, gullies baked dry in the sun. Travelers who spot them and go out of their way for a drink end up in a waterless gulch and die of thirst. Merchant caravans from Tema see them and expect water, tourists from Sheba hope for a cool drink. They arrive so confident—but what a disappointment! They get there, and their faces fall! And you, my so-called friends, are no better— there’s nothing to you! One look at a hard scene and you shrink in fear. It’s not as though I asked you for anything— I didn’t ask you for one red cent— Nor did I beg you to go out on a limb for me. So why all this dodging and shuffling?

“Have I ever said, ‘Give me something, and from your fortune make gifts in my favor’?
I’ve never said, ‘Give me something to help me. Use your wealth to set me free.
Have I ever said, ‘Give something on my behalf, pay a ransom for me from your wealth,
Have I ever said, “Give something on my behalf, pay a ransom for me from your wealth,
Did I ever say, ‘Bring something to me’? Or, ‘Offer a bribe for me from your wealth’?
Have I said, ‘Give me something,’ or, ‘Pay something from your riches to help me’?
But why? Have I ever asked you for a gift? Have I begged for anything of yours for myself?

Is it because I said, Give to me? And, By your power bribe for me?
