Job 16:5 in Context — Job 16
3 ¿Tendrán fin las palabras ventosas? ó ¿qué te animará á responder?
4 También yo hablaría como vosotros. Ojalá vuestra alma estuviera en lugar de la mía, que yo os tendría compañía en las palabras, y sobre vosotros movería mi cabeza.
5 [Mas] yo os alentaría con mis palabras, y la consolación de mis labios apaciguaría [el dolor vuestro].
6 Si hablo, mi dolor no cesa; y si dejo [de hablar], no se aparta de mí.
7 Empero ahora me ha fatigado: has tú asolado toda mi compañía.
