I have often heard such things; you are all aggravating comforters.
Then Job, answering, said:
Therefore, how long will you console me in vain, when your answer is shown to be repugnant to truth?
Why have you diminished the words of truth, when there is none of you who is able to offer proof against me?
Or can one eat bland food, which is not seasoned with salt? Or can anyone taste that which, if tasted, causes death?
Some act out of charity, knowing that I have been appointed for the defense of the Gospel.
You know this, my most beloved brothers. So let every man be quick to listen, but slow to speak and slow to anger.
