Rh :Miserable comforters are ye all.
 * Shall vain words have an end?
 * Or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?
 * 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.
 * But I would strengthen you with my mouth,
 * And the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.
 * Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged:
 * And though I forbear, what am I eased?
 * But now he hath made me weary:
 * Thou hast made desolate all my company.
 * 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.
 * He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me:
 * He gnasheth upon me with his teeth;
 * Mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
 * They have gaped upon me with their mouth;
 * They have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully;
 * They have gathered themselves together against me.
 * God hath delivered me to the ungodly.
 * And turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
