How long will you go on saying these things?
Your words are a blast of wind.

Wisdom is found with the elderly,
and understanding comes with long life.

You would call, and I would answer You.
You would long for the work of Your hands.

How long until you stop talking?
Show some sense, and then we can talk.

How long will you torment me
and crush me with words?

as long as my breath is still in me
and the breath from God remains in my nostrils,

I will cling to my righteousness and never let it go.
My conscience will not accuse me as long as I live!

Do not long for the night
when nations will disappear from their places.

Don’t you know? You were already born;
you have lived so long!
