Job 16:4-9

1. 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.

2. 5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.

3. 6 Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?

4. 7 But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.

5. 8 And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.

6. 9 He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
