Job 16:3-5

Good News Translation

³ Are you going to keep on talking forever?
    Do you always have to have the last word?
⁴ If you were in my place and I in yours,
    I could say everything you are saying.
I could shake my head wisely
    and drown you with a flood of words.
⁵ I could strengthen you with advice
    and keep talking to comfort you.
