16:2 “I have heard many things like these before.

What miserable comforters are you all!

3 Will there be an end to your windy words?

Or what provokes you that you answer?

4 I also could speak like you,

if you were in my place;

I could pile up words against you,

and I could shake my head at you.

5 But I would strengthen you with my words;

comfort from my lips would bring you relief.
