2 If one tries to answer you, will you be annoyed?But who can hold words back?
3 Look, you’ve instructed manyand given strength to drooping hands.
4 Your words have raised up the falling;you’ve steadied failing knees.
5 But now it comes to you, and you are dismayed;it has struck you, and you are frightened.
6 Isn’t your religion the source of your confidence;the integrity of your conduct, the source of your hope?
