Job 16:4-6
Lexham English Bible

4 I myself[a] also could talk as you,
if you were in my place;[b]
I could join against you with words,
and I could shake at you with my head.
5 I could[c] encourage you with my mouth,
and the solace of my lips would[d] ease the pain.
6 If I speak, my pain is not relieved;
and if I cease, how much will leave me?
