Job 16:3-5

Living Bible

³ Won’t you ever stop your flow of foolish words? What have I said that makes you speak so endlessly? ⁴ But perhaps I’d sermonize the same as you—if you were I and I were you. I would spout off my criticisms against you and shake my head at you. ⁵ But no! I would speak in such a way that it would help you. I would try to take away your grief.
