"Will there be no end to windy words? Or is it at all a burden to you, if you speak? "
— Job 16:3, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?”
“Shall vain words have an end? Or what provoketh thee that thou answerest? ”
“Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?”
“Will there be an end to your windy words? Or what provokes you that you answer?”
“Shall windy words have no end? or is it any trouble to thee to speak?”
“May words which are like the wind be stopped? or what is troubling you to make answer to them?”
“Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?”
Then Job, answering, said:
I have often heard such things; you are all aggravating comforters.
Will there be no end to windy words? Or is it at all a burden to you, if you speak?
I, too, can speak like you; and I also wish that your soul favored my soul.
I would also comfort you with speeches and would wag my head over you.
I would strengthen you with my mouth, and would move my lips, as if being lenient to you.
