Job 21:2-3

Hear diligently my speech If you have no other comfort to administer, at least afford me this: be so kind, so just, as to give me a patient hearing: and let this be your consolations I shall accept of it instead of those consolations which you owed to me in this my distressed condition, and which I expected from you. And it will be a consolation to yourselves in the reflection, to have dealt tenderly with your afflicted friend. Suffer me to speak Without such interruption as you have given me. And after I have spoken, mock on If I do not defend my cause with solid and convincing arguments, go on in your scoffs.
