Job 16:4-6
EasyEnglish Bible
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.
6 But now, if I speak,
my pain does not become any better.
If I stop speaking,
my pain continues to be there.
Job 16:4-6
New International Version
4 I also could speak like you,
if you were in my place;
I could make fine speeches against you
and shake my head(A) at you.
5 But my mouth would encourage you;
comfort(B) from my lips would bring you relief.(C)
6 “Yet if I speak, my pain is not relieved;
and if I refrain, it does not go away.(D)
