Keep silent from me, and I speak, And pass over me doth what?
My soul hath been weary of my life, I leave off my talking to myself, I speak in the bitterness of my soul.
Your remembrances `are' similes of ashes, For high places of clay your heights.
O that ye would keep perfectly silent, And it would be to you for wisdom.
Bear with me, and I speak, And after my speaking -- ye may deride.
Also I -- I withhold not my mouth -- I speak in the distress of my spirit, I talk in the bitterness of my soul.
