2 “I have heard many things like this before.You are all pathetic at comforting me.
3 Will ⌊your⌋ long-winded speeches never end?What disturbs you that you keep on answering ⌊me⌋?
4 I, too, could speak like youif we could trade places.I could string words together against youand shake my head at you.
5 I could encourage you with my mouth,and my quivering lips could ease ⌊your pain⌋.
