"I would also comfort you with speeches and would wag my head over you. "
— Job 16:5, Catholic Public Domain 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, And the solace of my lips would assuage 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 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.
But what can I do? When I am speaking, my grief will not be quiet; and if I am quiet, it will not withdraw from me.
But now my grief has crushed me, and all my limbs have been reduced to nothing.
