Commentary on Job 16:4 (Summary)

Job 16:4 (ESV)

4 I also could speak as you do, if you were in my place; I could join words together against you and shake my head at you.

It takes no special talent or wisdom to argue as Job’s friends had argued. Job could have easily said the same things, had he been in their position.
