2 I have heard many such things: grievous comforters are ye all.
2 Muchas veces he oído cosas como estas: consoladores molestos sois todos vosotros.
2 “I have heard many such things. You are all miserable comforters!
3 Shall words of wind have an end? or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?
3 ¿Tendrán fin las palabras ventosas? ó ¿qué te animará á responder?
3 Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?
4 I also could speak as ye: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could join together words against you, and shake my head at you;
4 También yo hablaría como vosotros. Ojalá vuestra alma estuviera en lugar de la mía, que yo os tendría compañía en las palabras, y sobre vosotros movería mi cabeza.
4 I also could speak as you do. If your soul were in my soul’s place, I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you,
5 [But] I would encourage you with my mouth, and the solace of my lips should assuage [your pain].
5 [Mas] yo os alentaría con mis palabras, y la consolación de mis labios apaciguaría [el dolor vuestro].
5 but I would strengthen you with my mouth. The solace of my lips would relieve you.
6 If I speak, my pain is not assuaged; and if I forbear, what am I eased?
6 Si hablo, mi dolor no cesa; y si dejo [de hablar], no se aparta de mí.
6 “Though I speak, my grief is not subsided. Though I forbear, what am I eased?
7 But now he hath made me weary; ...thou hast made desolate all my family;
7 Empero ahora me ha fatigado: has tú asolado toda mi compañía.

9 His anger teareth and pursueth me; he gnasheth with his teeth against me; [as] mine adversary he sharpeneth his eyes at me.
9 Su furor [me] destrizó, y me ha sido contrario: crujió sus dientes contra mí; contra mí aguzó sus ojos mi enemigo.
9 He has torn me in his wrath and persecuted me. He has gnashed on me with his teeth. My adversary sharpens his eyes on me.

12 Próspero estaba, y desmenuzóme: y arrebatóme por la cerviz, y despedazóme, y púsome por blanco suyo.
12 I was at ease, and he broke me apart. Yes, he has taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces. He has also set me up for his target.
13 His arrows encompass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
13 Cercáronme sus flecheros, partió mis riñones, y no perdonó: mi hiel derramó por tierra.
13 His archers surround me. He splits my kidneys apart, and does not spare. He pours out my bile on the ground.
