Job 16:1-7

1 Then Job answered and said,

1 Then Job replied:

2 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.

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

3 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?

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

4 I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at 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 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.

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

6 Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?

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

7 But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.

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