" Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged; And though I forbear, what am I eased? "

“Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?”
“"Though I speak, my grief is not subsided. Though I forbear, what am I eased?”
“Abandonment by God and Man“But if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I refrain from speaking– how much of it goes away?”
“I would strengthen you with my mouth, and would move my lips, as sparing you.”
“If I say what is in my mind, my pain becomes no less: and if I keep quiet, how much of it goes from me?”
“Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?”
Shall vain words have an end? Or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?
I also could speak as ye do; If your soul were in my soul’s stead, I could join words together against you, And shake my head at you.
But I would strengthen you with my mouth, And the solace of my lips would assuage your grief.
Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged; 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 laid fast hold on me, which is a witness against me: And my leanness riseth up against me, It testifieth to my face.
He hath torn me in his wrath, and persecuted me; He hath gnashed upon me with his teeth: Mine adversary sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
