\v 27 You do not sympathize with me at all for the things that I am suffering.
\q2 You will do anything to get something for yourselves! You would even play a game to see who gets an orphan as a prize!

Issues:

Extra text: The whole first sentence of the current UDB text (from TFT) is not in the Heb and does not appear to me to be necessary to understand the meaning of the verse.
Missing text: The last half of the verse is missing from the current UDB text.

Cp ULB text:
\v 27 Indeed, you cast lots for a fatherless child,
\q and haggle over your friend like merchandise.

In the tNs, the AT given for the second half of the verse is "bargain to sell your friend for money."

Suggest changing UDB text of v.27 to read:
\v 27 You will do anything to get something for yourselves! You would even play a game to see who gets an orphan as a prize,
\q2 and you would barter to sell your own friend!

That is a good fix, Bob.

The UDB of Job 6:27 now reads, following Bob's suggestion:

\v 27 You will do anything to get something for yourselves! You would even play a game to see who gets an orphan as a prize,
\q2 and you would barter to sell your own friend!

Thanks very much. Good work.
