² “I have heard many things like these;
    you are miserable comforters,^(A) all of you!^(B)

²⁰ Scorn has broken my heart
    and has left me helpless;
I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
    for comforters,^(A) but I found none.^(B)

    and they have no comforter;
power was on the side of their oppressors—
    and they have no comforter.^(B)
