Job 16:6 in Context — Job 16

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.

8 Tú me has arrugado; testigo es mi flacura, que se levanta contra mí para testificar en mi rostro.
