Job 16:3-5

International Standard Version

³Will windy words like yours never end?
What is upsetting you that you keep on arguing?

⁴“I could also talk like you
    if only you were in my place!
Then I would put together an argument^[a] against you.
    I would shake my head at you
⁵and encourage you with what I have to say;^[b]
    my words of comfort would lessen your pain.
