American Standard Version
"But I would strengthen you with my mouth, And the solace of my lips would assuage your grief. "
— Job 16:5, American Standard Version
“But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.”
“but I would strengthen you with my mouth. The solace of my lips would relieve you.”
“But I would strengthen you with my words; comfort from my lips would bring you relief.”
“I would comfort you also with words, and would wag my head over you.”
“I might give you strength with my mouth, and not keep back the comfort of my lips.”
“But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.”
I have heard many such things: Miserable comforters are ye all.
Shall vain words have an end? Or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?
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.
But I would strengthen you with my mouth, And the solace of my lips would assuage your grief.
Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged; And though I forbear, what am I eased?
But now he hath made me weary: Thou hast made desolate all my company.
And thou hast laid fast hold on me, which is a witness against me: And my leanness riseth up against me, It testifieth to my face.
