Job Replies: Miserable Comforters Are You

1 Then Job answered and said:

2 “I have heard ^amany such things;
^bmiserable comforters are you all.
3 Shall ^cwindy words have an end?
Or what provokes you that you answer?
4 I also could speak as you do,
if you were in my place;
I could join words together against you
and ^dshake my head at you.
5 I could strengthen you with my mouth,
and the solace of my lips would assuage your pain.
