Contextual Overview

¹ Then Job answered and said, ² I have heard many such things: Miserable comforters are you all. ³ Shall vain words 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 stead, I could join words together against you, And shake my head at you. ⁵ [But] I would strengthen you with my mouth, And the solace of my lips would assuage [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.
