""Though I speak, my grief is not subsided. Though I forbear, what am I eased?"
— Job 16:6, World English Bible
“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? ”
“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?”
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.
He has torn me in his wrath, and persecuted me. He has gnashed on me with his teeth. My adversary sharpens his eyes on me.
