4 I too could speak like you, if you were in my place; I could compose words against you and shake my head at you.
5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth and comfort from my lips would bring you relief.
6 “Yet, if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I refrain, does it not go away from me?
7 Surely now He has exhausted me; You have devastated my entire household.
8 You have seized me— it has become a witness; my leanness rises against me and testifies to my face.
9 His anger has torn and tormented me; He gnashes at me with his teeth; my enemy looks at me with daggers in his eyes.
10 People open their mouths against me; they strike my cheek in contempt; they unite together against me.
