Job 16:5-7
Evangelical Heritage Version
5 But instead, I would build you up with the words from my mouth,
and comforting words from my lips would ease your pain.
6 Now if I speak up, it does not lessen my pain,
and if I hold back, how much of my pain goes away?
7 Surely, he[a] has worn me out!
You have devastated everyone close to me.
