And they sit with him on the earth seven days and seven nights, and there is none speaking unto him a word when they have seen that the pain hath been very great.

With kings and counsellors of earth, These building wastes for themselves.

At destruction and at hunger thou mockest, And of the beast of the earth, Thou art not afraid.

And hast known that numerous is Thy seed, And thine offspring as the herb of the earth;

Is there not a warfare to man on earth? And as the days of an hireling his days?

(For of yesterday we are, and we know not, For a shadow are our days on earth.)

Who is shaking earth from its place, And its pillars move themselves.

Earth hath been given Into the hand of the wicked one. The face of its judges he covereth, If not -- where, who is he?

Longer than earth is its measure, And broader than the sea.

Or talk to the earth, and it sheweth thee, And fishes of the sea recount to thee:

If its root becometh old in the earth, And its stem doth die in the dust,

Stones have waters worn away, Their outpourings wash away the dust of earth, And the hope of man Thou hast destroyed.

He is not rich, nor doth his wealth rise, Nor doth he stretch out on earth their continuance.

Go round against me do his archers. He splitteth my reins, and spareth not, He poureth out to the earth my gall.

O earth, do not thou cover my blood! And let there not be a place for my cry.

(He is tearing himself in his anger.) For thy sake is earth forsaken? And removed is a rock from its place?

Hidden in the earth is his cord, And his trap on the path.

They thrust him from light unto darkness, And from the habitable earth cast him out.

This hast thou known from antiquity? Since the placing of man on earth?

Reveal do the heavens his iniquity, And earth is raising itself against him.

As to the man of arm -- he hath the earth, And the accepted of face -- he dwelleth in it.

They turn aside the needy from the way, Together have hid the poor of the earth.

Light he is on the face of the waters, Vilified is their portion in the earth, He turneth not the way of vineyards.

Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth upon nothing,

The earth! from it cometh forth bread, And its under-part is turned like fire.

For He to the ends of the earth doth look, Under the whole heavens He doth see,

In a frightful place of valleys to dwell, Holes of earth and clefts.

Who hath inspected for Himself the earth? And who hath placed all the habitable world?

Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea, than the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.'

Under the whole heavens He directeth it, And its light is over the skirts of the earth.

For to snow He saith, 'Be on the earth.' And the small rain and great rain of His power.

And it is turning itself round by His counsels, For their doing all He commandeth them, On the face of the habitable earth.

How thy garments are warm, In the quieting of the earth from the south?

Where wast thou when I founded earth? Declare, if thou hast known understanding.

To take hold on the skirts of the earth, And the wicked are shaken out of it,

Thou hast understanding, Even unto the broad places of earth! Declare -- if thou hast known it all.

Where is this, the way light is apportioned? It scattereth an east wind over the earth.

Hast thou known the statutes of heaven? Or dost thou appoint Its dominion in the earth?

For she leaveth on the earth her eggs, And on the dust she doth warm them,

There is not on the earth his like, That is made without terror.
