Job 16:3

World English Bible (WEB)

Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?

In context

1 Then Job answered,

2 “I have heard many such things. You are all miserable comforters!

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.
