Do you intend to criticize mere words, and treat the words of a despairing man as wind?

How painful are honest words! But what does your reproof prove?

“How long will you speak these things, seeing that the words of your mouth are like a great wind?

If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint, I will change my expression and be cheerful,’

I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my allotted portion.

My words come from the uprightness of my heart, and my lips will utter knowledge sincerely.

Then I would yet have my comfort, then I would rejoice, in spite of pitiless pain, for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
