21. You, too, have given no help.You have seen my calamity, and you are afraid.
22. But why? Have I ever asked you for a gift?Have I begged for anything of yours for myself?
23. Have I asked you to rescue me from my enemies,or to save me from ruthless people?
24. Teach me, and I will keep quiet.Show me what I have done wrong.
25. Honest words can be painful,but what do your criticisms amount to?
26. Do you think your words are convincingwhen you disregard my cry of desperation?
