Contextual Overview

¹ Then Job answered: ² "I have heard many such things; miserable comforters are you all. ³ Shall windy words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer? ⁴ I also could speak as you do, if you were in my place; I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you. ⁵ I could strengthen you with my mouth, and the solace of my lips would assuage your pain.

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.
