In context

³Is there no end to your long-winded speeches? What provokes you to continue testifying?

⁴I could also speak like you if you were in my place; I could heap up words against you and shake my head at you.

⁵But I would encourage you with my mouth, and the consolation of my lips would bring relief.

⁶Even if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I hold back, how will it go away?

⁷Surely He has now exhausted me; You have devastated all my family.
