3 Is there an end to words of wind? Or what doth embolden thee that thou answerest?
¿ [does] an end [belong] to Words of wind or what? is it making sick you that you will answer.
4 I also, like you, might speak, If your soul were in my soul's stead. I might join against you with words, And nod at you with my head.
Also - I like you I will speak if there [were] self your in place of self my I will make join on you words and I will shake on you with head my.
5 I might harden you with my mouth, And the moving of my lips might be sparing.

9 His anger hath torn, and he hateth me, He hath gnashed at me with his teeth, My adversary sharpeneth his eyes for me.
Anger his it has torn [me] - and it has assailed me he has gnashed towards me with teeth his opponent my - he sharpens eyes his to me.
10 They have gaped on me with their mouth, In reproach they have smitten my cheeks, Together against me they set themselves.

11 God shutteth me up unto the perverse, And to the hands of the wicked turneth me over.
He delivers up me God to an unjust one and on [the] hands of wicked [people] he casts me.
12 At ease I have been, and he breaketh me, And he hath laid hold on my neck, And he breaketh me in pieces, And he raiseth me to him for a mark.
At ease I was - and he smashed me and he took hold on neck my and he shattered me and he set up me of him to a target.

15 Sackcloth I have sewed on my skin, And have rolled in the dust my horn.

20 My interpreter [is] my friend, Unto God hath mine eye dropped:

For years of number they will come and a way [which] not I will return I will go.
