Job 16:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ Will your futile words of wind have no end? Or what makes you so bold to answer [me like this]?

⁴ I also could speak as you do, if you were in my stead; I could join words together against you and shake my head at you.

⁵ [But] I would strengthen and encourage you with [the words of] my mouth, and the consolation of my lips would soothe your suffering.
