Contextual Overview
1Then Job answered:2I have heard many things like these.You are all miserable comforters. 3Is there no end to your empty words?What provokes you that you continue testifying? 4If you were in my place I could also talk like you.I could string words together against youand shake my head at you. 5Instead, I would encourage you with my mouth,and the consolation from my lips would bring relief.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XVI

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.
