10 Then I would still have comfort;I would revel in pain; it will not subside,for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
11 “What strength do I have, that I should hope?And what is my end, that I should prolong my life?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones?Or is my flesh made of brass?
13 Is there no help within me?And is success banished from me?
14 “A despairing man should be shown kindness from his friend,or he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15 My brothers have acted deceitfully like a riverbed,like the streams of the riverbeds that run dry;
16 which are dark because of the ice,and into which the snow disappears.
