Job 16:1-6

Job 1Then Job replied:

2“I have heard many things like these; you are miserable comforters, all of you!

3Will your long-winded speeches never end? What ails you that you keep on arguing?

4I also could speak like you, if you were in my place; I could make fine speeches against you and shake my head at you.

5But my mouth would encourage you; comfort from my lips would bring you relief.

6“Yet if I speak, my pain is not relieved; and if I refrain, it does not go away.
