Job 16:6 Context
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. 8And thou hast filled mee with wrinckles, which is a witnesse against me: and my leannesse rising vp in me, beareth witnesse to my face.
