Bible verse
Is there no end to your long-winded speeches? What provokes you to continue testifying?
Job 16:3 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 16.
1 Then Job answered:
2 “I have heard many things like these; miserable comforters are you all.
3 Is there no end to your long-winded speeches? What provokes you to continue testifying?
4 I could also speak like you if you were in my place; I could heap up words against you and shake my head at you.
5 But I would encourage you with my mouth, and the consolation of my lips would bring relief.
6 Even if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I hold back, how will it go away?
7 Surely He has now exhausted me; You have devastated all my family.
