Contextual Overview
1I have heard words like that before; the comfort you give is only torment. <3 Are you going to keep on talking forever? Do you always have to have the last word? 4 If you were in my place and I in yours, I could say everything you are saying. I could shake my head wisely and drown you with a flood of words. 5 I could strengthen you with advice and keep talking to comfort you.

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.
