Job 16:5 Context
3Shall vaine words haue an ende? or what emboldeneth thee, that thou answerest? 4I also could speake as yee doe: if your soule were in my soules stead, I could heape vp words against you, and shake mine head at you. 5But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the mouing of my lips should asswage your griefe. 6Though I speake, my griefe is not asswaged: and though I forbeare; what am I eased? 7But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate al my companie.
