3 Your speeches go on forever. Won't they ever end? What's wrong with you? Why do you keep on arguing?
4 If you and I changed places, I could say the same things you are saying. I could make fine speeches against you. I could shake my head at you.
5 But what I might say would give you hope. My words of comfort would help you.
6 "If I speak, it doesn't help me. And if I keep quiet, my pain doesn't go away.
7 God has worn me out completely. He has destroyed my whole family.
8 People can see the condition he has put me in. My thin body stands as a witness against me.
9 God is angry with me. He attacks me and tears me up. He grinds his teeth at me. He stares at me as if he were my enemy.
