Job 16:1-5

Job Says Friends Are Miserable Comforters

¹Then Job responded,

2“I have heard many things like these;

Miserable comforters are you all!

3“Is there no end to windy words?

Or what provokes you that you answer?

4“I too could speak like you,

If only I were in your place.

I could compose words against you

And shake my head at you.

5“Or I could strengthen you with my mouth,

And the condolence of my lips could lessen your pain.
