"I would strengthen you with my mouth, and would move my lips, as if being lenient to you. "
— Job 16:6, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?”
“ Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged; And though I forbear, what am I eased? ”
“"Though I speak, my grief is not subsided. Though I forbear, what am I eased?”
“Abandonment by God and Man“But if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I refrain from speaking– how much of it goes away?”
“I would strengthen you with my mouth, and would move my lips, as sparing you.”
“If I say what is in my mind, my pain becomes no less: and if I keep quiet, how much of it goes from me?”
“Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?”
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.
My wrinkles bear witness against me, and a liar rises up against my face, contradicting me.
