Job 16:4-9 Modern English Version (MEV)

4. I also could speak as you do,if your soul were in my place.I could heap up words against youand shake my head at you;

5. but I would strengthen you with my mouth,and the moving of my lips would relieve your grief.

6. “Though I speak, my grief is not relieved;and though I stop, how am I eased?

7. But now He has made me weary;You have made desolate all my company.

8. You have filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me;and my leanness has risen up and bears witness to my face.

9. He has torn me in His wrath, and He has carried a grudge against me.He has gnashed me with His teeth;my enemy sharpens His gaze upon me.
