2 I have heard many things like these.You are all miserable comforters.
3 Is there no end to your empty words?What provokes you that you continue testifying?
4 If you were in my place I could also talk like you.I could string words together against youand shake my head at you.
5 Instead, I would encourage you with my mouth,and the consolation from my lips would bring relief.
6 Even if I speak, my suffering is not relieved,and if I hold back, what have I lost?
7 Surely He has now exhausted me.You have devastated my entire family.
8 You have shriveled me up — it has become a witness;My frailty rises up against me and testifies to my face.
