Let darkness and death-shade buy it back, May there settle down upon it a cloud, Let a day's dark eclipse cause it terror:

Lo! he snatcheth away, who can bring it back? Who shall say unto him, What wouldst thou do?

Lo! He holdeth back the waters, and they dry up, or sendeth them out, and they transform the earth:

Sealed up in a bag, is my transgression, and thou hast glued over mine iniquity.

He hath no confidence to come back out of darkness, he, being destined to the power oft the sword;

For, their heart, hast thou kept back from understanding, On this account, thou wilt not exalt them.

His children, shall seek the favour of the poor, and, his own hand, shall give back his wealth.

He hath drawn it out, and it hath come forth out of his back, - yea the flashing arrow-head, out of his gall, There shall march on him - terrors:

The command of his lips, and would not go back, and, in my bosom, have I treasured the words of his lips.

For this cause, from his presence, am I driven in fear, I diligently consider and am kept back from him in dread:

Boundaries, men move back, flocks, they seize and consume;

For I know that, unto death, thou wilt bring me back, even unto the house of meeting for every one living.

Oh that I had one to hear me, Lo! my crossmark, May, the Almighty, answer me! And would that, a book, mine opponent had written!

He keepeth back his said from the pit, and his life from passing away by a weapon.

He made supplication unto GOD, who hath accepted him, and he hath beheld his face with a shout of triumph, Thus hath he given back to man his righteousness.

To bring back his soul from the pit, to enlighten with the light of the living.

After it, roareth a voice, He thundereth with his voice of majesty, Nor will he hold them back, when his voice is heard.

Wilt thou put faith in him, that he will bring back thy seed? and that, corn for thy threshing-floor, he will gather?

He laugheth at dread, and is not dismayed, neither turneth he back, from the face of the sword;
