2 “Listen carefully to my words,and let this be the way you comfort me.
3 Be patient while I speak.After I have finished, you may continue to make fun of me.
4 “My complaint is not just against people;I have reason to be impatient.
5 Look at me and be shocked;put your hand over your mouth in shock.
6 When I think about this, I am terribly afraidand my body shakes.
7 Why do evil people live a long time?They grow old and become more powerful.
8 They see their children around them;they watch them grow up.
