Job 16:2: 
I have heard many such things: Miserable comforters are ye all.

Job 16:3: 
Shall vain words have an end? Or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?

Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged; And though I forbear, what am I eased?

Job 16:7: 
But now he hath made me weary: Thou hast made desolate all my company.

And thou hast laid fast hold on me, `which' is a witness `against me': And my leanness riseth up against me, It testifieth to my face.

I was at ease, and he brake me asunder; Yea, he hath taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces: He hath also set me up for his mark.

Although there is no violence in my hands, And my prayer is pure.
