4 I also could speak as you do,

if you were in my place;

I could join words together against you

and shake my head at you.

4 I also could speak as ye do: If your soul were in my soul’s stead, I could heap up words against you, And shake mine head at you.

4 I could say the same things if you were in my place.

I could spout off criticism and shake my head at you.

4 I also could speak as you do,

If your soul were in my soul’s place.

I could heap up words against you,

And shake my head at you;

4 I also could speak as you do

if you were in my place.

I could make great speeches against you

and shake my head at you.

4 I also could speak as ye do;

If your soul were in my soul’s stead,

I could join words together against you,

And shake my head at you.

4 I also could speak as ye: if your soul were in my soul’s stead, I could join together words against you, and shake my head at you;

4 I, too, could speak like you 

if we could trade places. 

I could string words together against you 

and shake my head at you. 

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.

4 I also could talk as you do,

if you were in my place;

I could join words together against you,

and shake my head at you.

4 I myself also could talk as you,

if you were in my place;

I could join against you with words,

and I could shake at you with my head.

4 If you and I changed places,

I could say the same things you are saying.

I could make fine speeches against you.

I could shake my head at you.

4 “I too could speak like you,

If I were in your place.

I could compose words against you

And shake my head at you.
