Job 16:1-5

Job 15Job 17

Job 16:1-5 New King James Version (NKJV)

Job Reproaches His Pitiless Friends

16 Then Job answered and said:

2 “I have heard many such things;
Miserable[a] comforters are you all!
3 Shall [b]words of wind have an end?
Or what provokes you that you answer?
4 I also could speak as you do,
If your soul were in my soul’s place.
I could heap up words against you,
And shake my head at you;
5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth,
And the comfort of my lips would relieve your grief.
