Contextual Overview
1 Then Job answered: 2 "I have heard all these things before. You men give me trouble, not comfort. 3 Your long speeches never end! Why do you continue arguing? 4 I also could say the same things you say, if you had my troubles. I could say wise things against you and shake my head at you. 5 But I would say things to encourage you and give you hope.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.
