“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.”
"I also could speak as you do, if your soul were in my soul's place; I could heap up words against you and shake my head at you." Job suggests that he could easily adopt the friends' stance—he too could construct accusations and expressions of contempt. This verse implies that the friends' position is not the result of superior wisdom but of superior fortune. They inhabit a stance available to the prosperous.
