JOB, Chap. 16. Vers. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Then Job answered and said, I have heard many such things: Miserable comforters are ye all. Shall vain words have an end? Or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest? I also could speak as ye do: if your souls were in my souls stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you. But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should assuage your grief.

THIS Chapter, and that which follows, contain Jobs second answer to the second charge of Eliphaz. He calls it an answer, but in strictness of speech it is a rejoinder; and he rejoins with some acrimony, and sharpness of speech. The longer contention is maintained, the hotter are the spirits of the contenders; and the more we are put to answer, the more angry are our answers.
