Job 16:1-7

1 Then Job defended himself:

1 Then Job replied:

2 "I've had all I can take of your talk. What a bunch of miserable comforters!

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

3 Is there no end to your windbag speeches? What's your problem that you go on and on like this?

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

4 If you were in my shoes, I could talk just like you. I could put together a terrific harangue and really let you have it.

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 But I'd never do that. I'd console and comfort, make things better, not worse!

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

6 "When I speak up, I feel no better; if I say nothing, that doesn't help either.

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

7 I feel worn down. God, you have wasted me totally - me and my family!

7 Surely, God, you have worn me out; you have devastated my entire household.
