Surrounding context
“I have heard many such things. You are all miserable comforters!
Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?
I also could speak as you do. If your soul were in my soul’s place, I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you,
but I would strengthen you with my mouth. The solace of my lips would relieve you.
“Though I speak, my grief is not subsided. Though I forbear, what am I eased?
But now, God, you have surely worn me out. You have made desolate all my company.
You have shriveled me up. This is a witness against me. My leanness rises up against me. It testifies to my face.
