Job 16:3-5
New Catholic Bible

3 When will you cease your endless flow of foolish words?
    Or what sickness afflicts you that you never cease babbling?
4 “I could also rant on as you do,
    if you were in my place.
I could exhaust you with my words
    and shake my head at you.[a]
5 But I would offer words of encouragement,
    and comfort from my lips would alleviate your pain.
