Job 16:4 in Context — Job 16
2 J’ai souvent entendu pareilles choses; Vous êtes tous des consolateurs fâcheux.
3 Quand finiront ces discours en l’air? Pourquoi cette irritation dans tes réponses?
4 Moi aussi, je pourrais parler comme vous, Si vous étiez à ma place: Je vous accablerais de paroles, Je secouerais sur vous la tête,
5 Je vous fortifierais de la bouche, Je remuerais les lèvres pour vous soulager.
6 Si je parle, mes souffrances ne seront point calmées, Si je me tais, en quoi seront-elles moindres?
