2Oh that my vexation were but weighed, And all my calamity laid in the balances!

3For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas: Therefore have my words been rash.

7My soul refuseth to touch [them]; They are as loathsome food to me.

8Oh that I might have my request; And that God would grant [me] the thing that I long for!
