Job Rejects the Miserable Comforters

Job 16:1-5

Then Job answered and said,

I have heard many such things: Miserable comforters are ye all.

Shall vain words have an end? Or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?

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.

But I would strengthen you with my mouth, And the solace of my lips would assuage your grief.
