King James Version with Apocrypha
"I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul’s stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you."
— Job 16:4, King James Version with Apocrypha
“I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul’s stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.”
“I also could speak as ye do; If your soul were in my soul’s stead, I could join words together against you, And shake my head at you. ”
“I also could speak as you do. If your soul were in my soul's place, I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you,”
“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.”
“I also could speak like you: and would God your soul were for my soul.”
“It would not be hard for me to say such things if your souls were in my soul's place; joining words together against you, and shaking my head at you:”
Then Job answered and said,
I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.
Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?
I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul’s stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.
But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.
Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?
But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
