World English Bible
"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,"
— Job 16:4, World English Bible
“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 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:”
“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.”
Then Job answered,
"I have heard many such things. You are all miserable comforters!
Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?
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,
but I would strengthen you with my mouth. The solace of my lips would relieve you.
"Though I speak, my grief is not subsided. Though I forbear, what am I eased?
But now, God, you have surely worn me out. You have made desolate all my company.
