² “How long will you go on like this?
    You sound like a blustering wind.

² “A wise man wouldn’t answer with such empty talk!
    You are nothing but a windbag.

²⁶ Do you think your words are convincing
    when you disregard my cry of desperation?

² “How long will you torture me?
    How long will you try to crush me with your words?
³ You have already insulted me ten times.
    You should be ashamed of treating me so badly.

² “How long before you stop talking?
    Speak sense if you want us to answer!

³ Won’t you ever stop blowing hot air?
    What makes you keep on talking?

² “Shouldn’t someone answer this torrent of words?
    Is a person proved innocent just by a lot of talking?
³ Should I remain silent while you babble on?
    When you mock God, shouldn’t someone make you ashamed?

¹¹ “I cannot keep from speaking.
    I must express my anguish.
    My bitter soul must complain.
