Job 16:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Is tasteless food eaten without salt? Is there flavor in the white root of the marshmallow plant (or the white of an egg)?

Are all these words to go unanswered? Is this talker to be vindicated?

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

How long will you torment me and depress me with words?

How you have helped one who has no power! How you have assisted the arm that has no strength!

You know this, my beloved brothers. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.

You are smearing me with lies. As doctors you are worthless, all of you!

For they persecute him whom you have wounded. They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt.

The latter ones do it out of love, knowing that I am set (appointed) (placed here) for the defense of the good news.
