Job 16:3-7 New Century Version (NCV)

3. Will your long-winded speeches never end?What makes you keep on arguing?

4. I also could speak as you doif you were in my place.I could make great speeches against youand shake my head at you.

5. But, instead, I would encourage you,and my words would bring you relief.

6. “Even if I speak, my pain is not less,and if I don’t speak, it still does not go away.

7. God, you have surely taken away my strengthand destroyed my whole family.
