2. Hear attentively my speech, and let this replace your consolations.
3. Suffer me and I will speak; and after I have spoken, mock on!
4. As for me, is my complaint to a man? or wherefore should not my spirit be impatient?
5. Mark me, and be astonished, and lay the hand upon the mouth.
6. Even when I think thereon, I am affrighted, and trembling taketh hold of my flesh.
7. Wherefore do the wicked live, grow old, yea, become mighty in power?
