6 “Yet if I speak, my pain is not relieved;

and if I refrain, it does not go away.

6 Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged:

And though I forbear, what am I eased?

6 Instead, I suffer if I defend myself,

and I suffer no less if I refuse to speak.

6 “Though I speak, my grief is not relieved;

And if I remain silent, how am I eased?

6 “Even if I speak, my pain is not less,

and if I don’t speak, it still does not go away.

6 Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged;

And though I forbear, what am I eased?

6 If I speak, my pain is not assuaged; and if I forbear, what am I eased?

6 If I speak, my pain is not eased. 

If I stop talking, how much of it will go away? 

6 Even if I speak, my suffering is not relieved,

and if I hold back, what have I lost?

6 “If I speak, my pain is not assuaged,

and if I forbear, how much of it leaves me?

6 If I speak, my pain is not relieved;

and if I cease, how much will leave me?

6 “If I speak, it doesn’t help me.

And if I keep quiet, my pain doesn’t go away.

6 “If I speak, my pain is not lessened,

And if I hold back, what has left me?
