3. Shall words of wind have an end?Or what provokes you that you answer?
4. 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;
5. But I would strengthen you with my mouth,And the comfort of my lips would relieve your grief.
6. “Though I speak, my grief is not relieved;And if I remain silent, how am I eased?
7. But now He has worn me out;You have made desolate all my company.
8. You have shriveled me up,And it is a witness against me;My leanness rises up against meAnd bears witness to my face.
