Job 16:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 16:4

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;

5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth,
And the comfort of my lips would relieve your grief.

6 “Though I speak, my grief is not relieved;
And if I remain silent, how am I eased?

7 But now He has ^aworn me out;
You ^bhave made desolate all my company.
