The Scriptures 1998

Job 16:1-8 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

1. And Iyoḇ answered and said,

2. “I have heard many matters like these; all of you are comforters of trouble!

3. Is there an end to words of wind? Or what provokes you that you answer?

4. I might also speak like you, if you were in my place. I might heap up words against you, and shake my head at you.

5. I might strengthen you with my mouth, and my moving lips might bring relief.

6. If I speak, my pain is not relieved; and if I refrain, does it leave me?

7. But now He has wearied me. You have stunned all my company.

8. And You have plucked me, and it is a witness. And my failure rises up against me, it bears witness to my face.
