Job 16:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ Please stop speaking useless words.
    Why do you talk to me like that?
⁴ If you were suffering like I am,
    I could say the same things to you.
I could speak for a long time
    about the wrong things that you have done.
I could shake my head
    and laugh at you.
⁵ But, instead, I would help you to be strong.
    I would say things to comfort you.
