Job
1
Then Job replied:
2
“I have heard many things like these; you are miserable comforters, all of you!
3
Will your long-winded speeches never end? What ails you that you keep on arguing?
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 my mouth would encourage you; comfort from my lips would bring you relief.
6
“Yet if I speak, my pain is not relieved; and if I refrain, it does not go away.
7
Surely, God, you have worn me out; you have devastated my entire household.
