\v 2 "I have heard many such things;
|
|
|
|
|
\q you are all miserable comforters.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 3 Will useless words ever have an end?
|
|
|
|
|
\q What is wrong with you that you answer like this?

\q
|

|
\v 4 I also could speak as you do,
|
|
|
|
|
\q if you were in my place;
|
|
|
|
|
\q I could collect and join words together against you
|
|
|
|
|
\q and shake my head at you in mockery.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 5 Oh, how I would encourage you with my mouth!
|
|
|
|
|
\q How the comfort from my lips would lighten your grief!

\v 6 If I speak, my grief is not lessened;
|

|
|
|
\q if I keep from speaking, how am I helped?
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 7 But now, God, you have made me weary;
|
|
|
|
|
\q you have made all my family desolate.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 8 You have made me dry up, which itself is a witness against me;
|
|
|
|
|
\q the leanness of my body rises up against me,
|
|
|
|
|
\q and it testifies against my face.

\v 9 God has torn me in his wrath and persecuted me;

\q my enemy fastens his eyes on me as he tears me apart.

\q they have gathered together against me.

\v 11 God hands me over to ungodly people,

\q
|
|

\v 12 I was at ease, and he broke me apart.
|

\q Indeed, he has taken me by the neck and dashed me to pieces;
|
|
|
|
|
\q he has also set me up as his target.

\q
|

\v 14 He smashes through my wall again and again;
