2 “Listen carefully to my speech,
And let this be your
1 consolation.
3 Bear with me that I may speak,
And after I have spoken, keep
amocking.
4 “As for me,
is my complaint against man?
And if
it were, why should I not be impatient?
5 Look at me and be astonished;
aPut
your hand over
your mouth.
6 Even when I remember I am terrified,
And trembling takes hold of my flesh.
7 aWhy do the wicked live
and become old,
Yes, become mighty in power?
8 Their descendants are established with them in their sight,
And their offspring before their eyes.
