18:016:003 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?
18:016:004 I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.
18:016:005 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.
18:016:006 Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?
18:016:007 But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
18:016:008 And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
18:016:009 He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
18:016:010 They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.
18:016:011 God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
18:016:012 I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
