1-2. Yes, you are the voice of the people.When you die, wisdom will die with you.
3. But I have as much sense as you have;I am in no way inferior to you;everyone knows all that you have said.
4. Even my friends laugh at me now;they laugh, although I am righteous and blameless;but there was a time when God answered my prayers.
5. You have no troubles, and yet you make fun of me;you hit someone who is about to fall.
6. But thieves and godless people live in peace,though their only god is their own strength.
