2 "I have heard many such things; Sorry comforters are you all.
3 "Is there no limit to windy words? Or what plagues you that you answer?
4 "I too could speak like you, If I were in your place. I could compose words against you And shake my head at you.
5 "I could strengthen you with my mouth, And the solace of my lips could lessen your pain.
6 "If I speak, my pain is not lessened, And if I hold back, what has left me?
