1. Then Job answered,
2. “I have heard many such things.You are all miserable comforters!
3. Shall vain words have an end?Or what provokes you that you answer?
4. I also could speak as you do.If your soul were in my soul’s place,I could join words together against you,and shake my head at you,
5. but I would strengthen you with my mouth.The solace of my lips would relieve you.
6. “Though I speak, my grief is not subsided.Though I forbear, what am I eased?
7. But now, God, you have surely worn me out.You have made desolate all my company.
