“You dress up speeches only to rebuke, and you utter words to the wind.”
“My words may seem wrong to you, but the words of him who has no hope are for the wind.”
“Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?”
Or, Deliver me from the enemy’s hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
How forcible are right words! but what does your arguing reprove?
Do you imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?
Yes, you overwhelm the fatherless, and you dig a pit for your friend.
Now therefore be content, look on me; for it is evident to you if I lie.
Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yes, return again, my righteousness is in it.
