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)
