Contextual Overview
1 Then Job answered and said, 2 I have heard many such things: Miserable comforters are ye all. 3 Shall vain words have an end? Or what provoketh thee that thou answerest? 4 I also could speak as ye do; If your soul were in my soul's stead, I could join words together against you, And shake my head at you. 5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, And the solace of my lips would assuage your grief.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XVI
Job replies to Eliphaz, and through him to all his friends,
who, instead of comforting him, had added to his misfortunes;
and shows that, had they been in his circumstances, he would
have treated them in a different manner, 1-5.
Enters into an affecting detail of his suffering, 6-16.
Consoles himself with the consciousness of his own innocence,
of which he takes God to witness, and patiently expects a
termination of all his sufferings by death. 17-22.
