As Jacob begins to launch into his discourse, he provides the only consolation he is able to the wives and children. He deems those women and children present to have been harmed emotionally and spiritually, and he apologizes that the "cure" will require an open examination of the causes of their "wounds."
A possible reading of this verse might be that he is addressing men who have already begun to feel the call of repentance. However, it is not likely that this is the focus of his address to "those who are already wounded." He speaks of that set as having "delicate minds," a phraseology that we would not expect to be applied to men in a male-dominated society, but rather to women and children.
