Job 16:1-5 English Standard Version (ESV)

1. Then Job answered and said:

2. “I have heard many such things; miserable comforters are you all.

3. Shall windy words have an end?Or what provokes you that you answer?

4. I also could speak as you do,if you were in my place;I could join words together against youand shake my head at you.

5. I could strengthen you with my mouth,and the solace of my lips would assuage your pain.
