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 16:1-6
Lexham English Bible
Job’s Fifth Speech
16 Then[a] Job answered and said,
2 “I have heard many things like these;
all of you are miserable comforters.[b]
3 Is there a limit to windy words?
What provokes you that you answer?
4 I myself[c] also could talk as you,
if you were in my place;[d]
I could join against you with words,
and I could shake at you with my head.
5 I could[e] encourage you with my mouth,
and the solace of my lips would[f] ease the pain.
6 If I speak, my pain is not relieved;
and if I cease, how much will leave me?
