Job 16:5 in context

  1. 3Shall vain words have an end? Or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?
  2. 4I 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.
  3. 5But I would strengthen you with my mouth, And the solace of my lips would assuage your grief.
  4. 6Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged; And though I forbear, what am I eased?
  5. 7But now he hath made me weary: Thou hast made desolate all my company.
