"You prepare speeches as so much noise, and you offer words into the wind. "

“Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?”
“Do ye think to reprove words, Seeing that the speeches of one that is desperate are as wind? ”
“Do you intend to reprove words, since the speeches of one who is desperate are as wind?”
“Do you intend to criticize mere words, and treat the words of a despairing man as wind?”
“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, “Free me from the hand of the enemy and rescue me from the hand of the strong?”
Teach me, and I will be silent, and if by chance I have been ignorant of anything, instruct me.
Why have you diminished the words of truth, when there is none of you who is able to offer proof against me?
You prepare speeches as so much noise, and you offer words into the wind.
You encroach upon the orphan, and you strive to undermine your friend.
Such is true, so finish what you have begun. Listen closely, and see if I lie.
Respond, I beg you, without contention, and, speaking what is just, pass judgment.
