Job 16:5
“but I would strengthen you with my mouth. The solace of my lips would relieve you.”
Verse in context — Job 16
3
Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?
4
I also could speak as you do. If your soul were in my soul's place, I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you,
5
but I would strengthen you with my mouth. The solace of my lips would relieve you.
6
Though I speak, my grief is not subsided. Though I forbear, what am I eased?
7
But now, God, you have surely worn me out. You have made desolate all my company.
