The Morning Psalm

Job 16:5

King James Version

But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.
Job 16:5, KJV

Job 16:5 in context

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.

6Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?

7But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
