1 Porém Jó respondeu, dizendo:

2 Ouvi muitas coisas como estas; todos vós sois consoladores miseráveis.

3 Por acaso terão fim as palavras de vento? Ou o que é que te provoca a responderes?

4 Também eu poderia falar como vós, se vossa alma estivesse no lugar da minha alma; eu poderia amontoar palavras contra vós, e contra vós sacudir minha cabeça.

5 Porém eu vos confortaria com minha boca, e a consolação de meus lábios serviria para aliviar.
