Contextual Overview

¹ Then Job answered and said: ² "I have heard many such things; Miserable comforters are you all! ³ Shall words of wind have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer? ⁴ I also could speak as you do, If your soul were in my soul's place. I could heap up words against you, And shake my head at you; ⁵ But I would strengthen you with my mouth, And the comfort of my lips would relieve your grief.

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.
