10 At least I can take comfort in this:Despite the pain,I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11 But I don’t have the strength to endure.I have nothing to live for.

13 No, I am utterly helpless,without any chance of success.
14 “One should be kind to a fainting friend,but you accuse me without any fear of the Almighty.
15 My brothers, you have proved as unreliable as a seasonal brookthat overflows its banks in the spring
16 when it is swollen with ice and melting snow.
