Job 16:1-6

Authorized (King James) Version

² I have heard many such things:
miserable comforters are ye all.
³ Shall vain words have an end?
or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?
⁴ I also could speak as ye do:
if your soul were in my soul’s stead,
I could heap up words against you,
and shake mine head at you.
⁵ But I would strengthen you with my mouth,
and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.
⁶ Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged:
and though I forbear, what am I eased?
