job 16:4 I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.

job 16:4 "I too could speak like you, If I were in your place. I could compose words against you, And shake my head at you.

4. heap up--rather, "marshal together (an army of) words against you."
shake . . . head--in mockery; it means nodding, rather than shaking; nodding is not with us, as in the East, a gesture of scorn (Isa 37:22; Jer 18:16; Mt 27:39).

job 16:4 "I too could speak like you, If I were in your place. I could compose words against you, And shake my head at you.
