Job 16:2-5

2“I have heard many things like these; 1 2Miserable comforters are you all!3Is there no end to 3windy words? Or what provokes you that you answer?4I too could speak like you, If only 4I were in your place. I could compose words against you And 5shake my head at you.5Or I could strengthen you with my mouth, And the condolence of my lips could lessen your pain.
