1. Then Job answered and said,
2. I have heard many such things: Miserable comforters are ye all.
3. Shall vain words have an end? Or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?
4. I also could speak as ye do; If your soul were in my soul’s stead, I could join words together against you, And shake my head at you.
5. But I would strengthen you with my mouth, And the solace of my lips would assuage your grief.
6. Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged; And though I forbear, what am I eased?
