Job 16:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Can food that is tasteless be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?

"Should not this abundance of words be answered, or should this talkative man be vindicated?

If only you would keep completely silent! For you, that would be wisdom.

"How long will you torment me and crush me with your words?

"How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the person who has no strength!

Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters! Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.

But you, however, are inventors of lies; all of you are worthless physicians!

For they harass the one whom you discipline; they spread the news about the suffering of those whom you punish.

The latter do so from love because they know that I am placed here for the defense of the gospel.
