Job 16:6

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

Even if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I hold back, how will it go away?

In context

4 I could also speak like you if you were in my place; I could heap up words against you and shake my head at you.

5 But I would encourage you with my mouth, and the consolation of my lips would bring relief.

6 Even if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I hold back, how will it go away?

7 Surely He has now exhausted me; You have devastated all my family.

8 You have bound me, and it has become a witness; my frailty rises up and testifies against me.
