Job 16:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.

Tasteless food isn't eaten without salt, is it? Is there any taste in an egg white?

"Shouldn't a multitude of words be answered, or a person who talks too much be vindicated?

I wish you'd all just shut up. Then at least you would appear to be wise.

"How long do you intend to keep torturing me and trying to break me by what you're saying?

"What a help you are to the weak! How powerfully you deliver those without strength!

You must understand this, my dear brothers. Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.

"But as for you, you whitewash with lies; all of you are worthless quacks.

For they persecute those whom you have struck, and they brag about the pain of those you have wounded.

The latter are motivated by love, because they know that I have been appointed to defend the gospel.
