1. Then Job, answering, said:
2. I have often heard such things; you are all aggravating comforters.
3. Will there be no end to windy words? Or is it at all a burden to you, if you speak?
4. I, too, can speak like you; and I also wish that your soul favored my soul.
5. I would also comfort you with speeches and would wag my head over you.
6. I would strengthen you with my mouth, and would move my lips, as if being lenient to you.
7. But what can I do? When I am speaking, my grief will not be quiet; and if I am quiet, it will not withdraw from me.
8. But now my grief has crushed me, and all my limbs have been reduced to nothing.
9. My wrinkles bear witness against me, and a liar rises up against my face, contradicting me.
