Job 16:2

Tree of Life Version

“I have heard many things like these; you are miserable comforters, all of you!

See the chapter Copy

Know this, my dear brothers and sisters: let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger—

The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.

Let their encampment be deserted. Let none dwell in their tents.

Honest words are painful, but what does your arguing prove?

Is something bland eaten without salt, is there taste in the white of an egg?

Job answered, saying:

“So how will your futility comfort me, for your answers remain nothing but falsehood?”

You know my reproach, my shame, my disgrace. All my adversaries are before You.
