Job 16:4-6 New English Translation (NET)

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?
