10 This would be my comfort;I would even exult in pain unsparing,for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11 What is my strength, that I should wait?And what is my end, that I should be patient?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh bronze?
13 Have I any help in me,when resource is driven from me?
14 “He who withholds kindness from a friendforsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15 My brothers are treacherous as a torrent-bed,as torrential streams that pass away,
16 which are dark with ice,and where the snow hides itself.
