1 Then Job replied:
2 “I have heard many things like these before.What miserable comforters are you all!
3 Will there be an end to your windy words?Or what provokes you that you answer?
4 I also could speak like you,if you were in my place;I could pile up words against youand I could shake my head at you.
5 But I would strengthen you with my words;comfort from my lips would bring you relief.
6 “But if I speak, my pain is not relieved,and if I refrain from speaking – how much of it goes away?
7 Surely now he has worn me out,you have devastated my entire household.
