Job 16:2-8 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

2. “I have heard all these things before. You men give me trouble, not comfort.

3. Your long speeches never end! Why do you continue arguing?

4. I also could say the same things you say, if you had my troubles. I could say wise things against you and shake my head at you.

5. But I would say things to encourage you and give you hope.

6. “Nothing I say makes my pain go away. But keeping quiet does not help either.

7. God, you surely took away my strength. You destroyed my whole family.

8. You have made me thin and weak, and people think that means I am guilty.
