1-2 Listen to what I am saying;that is all the comfort I ask from you.
3 Give me a chance to speak and then,when I am through, sneer if you like.
4 My quarrel is not with mortals;I have good reason to be impatient.
5 Look at me. Isn't that enoughto make you stare in shocked silence?
6 When I think of what has happened to me,I am stunned, and I tremble and shake.
7 Why does God let evil people live,let them grow old and prosper?
8 They have children and grandchildren,and live to watch them all grow up.
