Or what maketh thee bolde so to aunswere? 4 I coulde speake as ye do also: but would God that your soule were in my soules steade, then could I frame wordes for you, and shake my head at you: 5 I shoulde comfort you with my mouth, & releasse your paine with the talking of my lippes.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then Job answered and said. As soon as Eliphaz had done speaking, Job stood up, and made the following reply.

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.
