Job's Fifth Speech

³ “Is there no limit to windy words?
Or what plagues you that you answer?
⁴ “I too could speak like you,
If I were in your place.
I could compose words against you
And shake my head at you.
⁵ “I could strengthen you with my mouth,
And the solace of my lips could lessen your pain.
