Job 16:6 in context

Job 16:3–9

3

Shall vain words have an end?

Or what provokes you that you answer?

4

I also could speak as you do.

If your soul were in my soul’s place,

I could join words together against you,

and shake my head at you,

5

but I would strengthen you with my mouth.

The solace of my lips would relieve you.

6
Selected verse

“Though I speak, my grief is not subsided.

Though I forbear, what am I eased?

7

But now, God, you have surely worn me out.

You have made all my company desolate.

8

You have shriveled me up. This is a witness against me.

My leanness rises up against me.

It testifies to my face.

9

He has torn me in his wrath and persecuted me.

He has gnashed on me with his teeth.

My adversary sharpens his eyes on me.
