Job 16:1-6

Troublesome Comforters

16Then Job answered and said,
2I have heard many such things;1,aTroublesome comforters are you all.3Is there no end to awindy words?Or what pains you that you answer?4I too could speak like you,If your soul were in the place of my soul.I could compose words against youAnd ashake my head at you.5I could encourage you with my mouth,And the solace of my lips could lessen your pain.6If I speak, amy pain is not lessened,And if I cease, what will go forth from me?
