2 “Listen diligently to my speech.Let this be your consolation.
3 Allow me, and I also will speak;After I have spoken, mock on.
4 As for me, is my complaint to man?Why shouldn’t I be impatient?
5 Look at me, and be astonished.Lay your hand on your mouth.
6 When I remember, I am troubled.Horror takes hold of my flesh.
7 “Why do the wicked live,become old, yes, and grow mighty in power?
8 Their child is established with them in their sight,their offspring before their eyes.
