Then a spirit passed before my face; The hair of my flesh stood up.

It stood still, but I could not discern the appearance thereof; A form was before mine eyes: There was'silence, and I heard a voice,'saying ,

I also could speak as ye do; If your soul were in my soul's stead, I could join words together against you, And shake my head at you.

The young men saw me and hid themselves, And the aged rose up and stood;

He breaketh in pieces mighty men in ways past finding out, And setteth others in their stead.
