Job 16:1-6
Legacy Standard Bible
Troublesome Comforters
16 Then Job answered and said,
2 “I have heard many such things;
[a](A)Troublesome comforters are you all.
3 Is there no end to (B)windy words?
Or what pains you that you answer?
4 I too could speak like you,
If your soul were in the place of my soul.
I could compose words against you
And (C)shake my head at you.
5 I could encourage you with my mouth,
And the solace of my lips could lessen your pain.
6 “If I speak, (D)my pain is not lessened,
And if I cease, what will go forth from me?
Notas al pie

Job’s response
16 Then Job answered:
2 I’ve heard many things like these.
All of you are sorry comforters.
3 Will windy talk ever cease;
what bothers you that you must argue?
4 In your situation I could speak like you;
I could put words together to oppose you,
shake my head over you.
5 I could heap up words, strengthen you with my speech;
my trembling lips would be held in check.
6 If I speak, my pain is not eased;
if I hold back, what have I lost?
