"Be silentbeforeme so that I may speak;Then let comeon me whatmay.
"I loathemy own life;I will givefullventto my complaint;I will speakin the bitternessof my soul.
"Your memorablesayingsare proverbsof ashes,Your defensesare defensesof clay.
"Othat you would be completelysilent,And that it would becomeyour wisdom!
"Bearwith me that I may speak;Then afterI have spoken,you may mock.
"ThereforeI will not restrainmy mouth;I will speakin the anguishof my spirit,I will complainin the bitternessof my soul.
