3 Will your long, useless speeches never end?What makes you keep on arguing?
4 I also could speak as you doif you were in my place.I could make great speeches against you.And I could shake my head at you.
5 But, instead, my words would encourage you.I would speak words of comfort to bring you relief.
6 “But if I speak, my pain does not become less.And if I don’t speak, it still does not go away.
7 God, you have surely taken away my strength.You have destroyed my whole family.
8 You have made me thin and weak.And people feel that this shows I have done wrong.
9 God attacks me and tears me with anger.He grinds his teeth at me.My enemy stares at me with his angry eyes.
