Job 16:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Then Job answered:

2 “I have heard many things like these; miserable comforters are you all.

3 Is there no end to your long-winded speeches? What provokes you to continue testifying?

4 I could also speak like you if you were in my place; I could heap up words against you and shake my head at you.

5 But I would encourage you with my mouth, and the consolation of my lips would bring relief.
