(3) And verily they would be heavier than the sand by the seashore: but, as it seems, my words are vain.

(4) For the arrows of the Lord are in my body, whose violence drinks up my blood: whenever I am going to speak, they pierce me.

(5) What then? will the wild ass bray for nothing, if he is not seeking food? or again, will the ox low at the manger, when he has a fodder?
