26 Do you mean to correct what I say,

and treat my desperate words as wind?

26 Do ye imagine to reprove words,

And the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?

26 Do you think your words are convincing

when you disregard my cry of desperation?

26 Do you intend to rebuke my words,

And the speeches of a desperate one, which are as wind?

26 Do you mean to correct what I say?

Will you treat the words of a troubled man as if they were only wind?

26 Do ye think to reprove words,

Seeing that the speeches of one that is desperate are as wind?

26 Do ye imagine to reprove words? The speeches of one that is desperate are indeed for the wind.

26 Do you think my words need correction? 

Do you think they’re what a desperate person says to the wind? 

26 Do you think that you can disprove my words

or that a despairing man’s words are mere wind?

26 Do you think that you can reprove words,

as if the speech of the desperate were wind?

26 Do you intend to reprove my words

and consider the words of a desperate man as wind?

26 Are you trying to correct what I’m saying?

You are treating the words of this hopeless man

like nothing but wind.

26 “Do you intend to reprove my words,

When the words of one in despair belong to the wind?
