The eye of him who sees me now will see me no more; your eyes will look for me, but I will be gone.

If I have sinned -- what have I done to you, O watcher of men? Why have you set me as your target? Have I become a burden to you?

"But now, ask the animals and they will teach you, or the birds of the sky and they will tell you.

Or speak to the earth and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea declare to you.

Would it turn out well if he would examine you? Or as one deceives a man would you deceive him?

Do you fix your eye on such a one? And do you bring me before you for judgment?

Are God's consolations too trivial for you; or a word spoken in gentleness to you?

For the years that lie ahead are few, and then I will go on the way of no return.

And the eye of the adulterer watches for the twilight, thinking, 'No eye can see me,' and covers his face with a mask.
