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.
