Job 16:5

but I would strengthen you with my mouth. The solace of my lips would relieve you.

In context

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 all my company desolate.
