Job 16:1-6

1 Then Job answered:

1 Then Job replied:

2 I've heard many things like these. All of you are sorry comforters.

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

3 Will windy talk ever cease; what bothers you that you must argue?

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

4 In your situation I could speak like you; I could put words together to oppose you, shake my head over you.

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

5 I could heap up words, strengthen you with my speech; my trembling lips would be held in check.

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

6 If I speak, my pain is not eased; if I hold back, what have I lost?

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