The Morning Psalm

Job 16:3

King James Version

Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?
Job 16:3, KJV

Job 16:3 in context

1Then Job answered and said,

2I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.

3Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?

4I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul’s stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.

5But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.
