Contextual Overview

¹ Then Job replied: ² "I have heard many things like these before. What miserable comforters are you all! ³ Will there be an end to your windy words? Or what provokes you that you answer? ⁴ I also could speak like you, if you were in my place; I could pile up words against you and I could shake my head at you. ⁵ But I would strengthen you with my words; comfort from my lips would bring you relief.

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.
