Job Reproaches His Pitiless Friends

1 Then Job answered and said:
2 “I have heard many such things;
aMiserable1 comforters are you all! 
3 Shall1 words of wind 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 heap up words against you,
And ashake my head at you;

Job 16:2

I have heard many such things - These sayings of the ancients are not strange to me; but they do not apply to my case: ye see me in affliction; ye should endeavor to console me. This ye do not; and yet ye pretend to do it! Miserable comforters are ye all.
