Job 16:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ Will your ·long-winded speeches [^Lwindy words] never end?
    What ·makes [^Lprovokes] you keep on ·arguing [^Lresponding]?
⁴ I also could speak as you do
    if you were in my place.
I could ·make great speeches [^Ljoin words] against you
    and shake my head at you [^Clike wagging a finger at someone].
⁵ But, instead, I would ·encourage you [^Lstrengthen you with my mouth],
    and ·my words [^Lthe words of my lips] would bring you ·relief [comfort].
