# if only my anguish were weighed; if only all my calamity were laid in the balance

AT: "if only I could weigh my anguish and all my calamities in the balance" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# in the balance

"on a scale"

# For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas
