Job 16:4 Douay-Rheims

I also could speak like you: and would God your soul were for my soul.

Rashi

1040–1105 Jewish

could speak like you I know how to chide as you do.
if your soul were in pain instead of my soul, I too would join words together against you and shake my head at you in your cry, and encourage you with my mouth, saying, “Be still, have courage, and endure your sufferings,” just as you are saying to me.
