Job 16:1-3 in Context (Verses 1–6 KJV)
1
Then Job answered and said,
2
I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.*
3
Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?*
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
But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.
6
Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?*
