Job 16:2-9 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

2. “I have heard many things like these; all of you are miserable comforters.

3. Is there a limit to windy words? What provokes you that you answer?

4. I myself also could talk as you, if you were in my place; I could join against you with words, and I could shake at you with my head.

5. I could encourage you with my mouth, and the solace of my lips would ease the pain.

6. If I speak, my pain is not relieved; and if I cease, how much will leave me?

7. “Surely now he has worn me out; you have devastated all my company.

8. Thus you shriveled me up; it became a witness. And my leanness has risen up against me; it testifies to my face.

9. His wrath has torn, and he has been hostile toward me; he gnashed at me with his teeth. My foe sharpens his eyes against me.
