2 I have heard many things like these.

You are all miserable comforters.q

3 Is there no end to your empty* r words?

What provokes you that you continue testifying?

4 If you were in my place I could also talk like you.

I could string words together against you

and shake my head at you.

5 Instead, I would encourage you with my mouth,

and the consolation from my lips would bring relief.s
