"but I would strengthen you with my mouth. The solace of my lips would relieve you."
— Job 16:5, World English Bible
“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 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. 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.
You have shriveled me up. This is a witness against me. My leanness rises up against me. It testifies to my face.
