4. If you were in my place I could also talk like you.I could string words together against youand shake my head at you.
5. Instead, I would encourage you with my mouth,and the consolation from my lips would bring relief.
6. Even if I speak, my suffering is not relieved,and if I hold back, what have I lost?
7. Surely He has now exhausted me.You have devastated my entire family.
8. You have shriveled me up — it has become a witness;My frailty rises up against me and testifies to my face.
