Job 16:2-5

2I have heardH8085 many such thingsH7227: miserableH5999 comfortersH5162 are ye all.1

3Shall vainH7307 wordsH1697 have an endH7093? or what emboldenethH4834 thee that thou answerestH6030?2

4I also could speakH1696 as ye do: ifH3863 your soulH5315 wereH3426 in my soul’sH5315 stead, I could heap upH2266 wordsH4405 against you, and shakeH5128 mine headH7218 atH1119 you.

5But I would strengthenH553 you withH1119 my mouthH6310, and the movingH5205 of my lipsH8193 should asswageH2820 your grief.
