2. “I have heard many things like these.You are all painful comforters!
3. Will your long-winded speeches never end?What makes you keep on arguing?
4. I also could speak as you doif you were in my place.I could make great speeches against youand shake my head at you.
5. But, instead, I would encourage you,and my words would bring you relief.
6. “Even if I speak, my pain is not less,and if I don’t speak, it still does not go away.
