Job 16:1-7

1. 1 Then Job answered and said,

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

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

4. 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.

5. 5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.

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

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