Miserable Comforters Are Ye All — Job 16:1–8

Then Job answered and said,

I have heard many such things:
Miserable comforters are ye all.

Shall vain words have an end?
Or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?

I also could speak as ye do;
If your soul were in my soul's stead,
I could join words together against you,
And shake my head at you.

But I would strengthen you with my mouth,
And the solace of my lips would assuage your grief.

Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged;
And though I forbear, what am I eased?

But now he hath made me weary:
Thou hast made desolate all my company.

And thou hast laid fast hold on me, which is a witness against me:
And my leanness riseth up against me,
It testifieth to my face.
