Who long for death, and it cometh not, and dig for it more than for hidden treasures;

He will deliver thee in six troubles, and in seven there shall no evil touch thee.

What my soul refuseth to touch, that is as my loathsome food.

Teach me, and I will hold my tongue; and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and dig a pit for your friend.

And why dost not thou forgive my transgression and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I lie down in the dust, and thou shalt seek me early, and I shall not be.

Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?

Behold, God will not cast off a perfect man, neither will he take evil-doers by the hand.

(Let me be weighed in an even balance, and +God will take knowledge of my blamelessness;)

Would I not take it upon my shoulder? I would bind it on to me as a crown;

I said, Let days speak, and multitude of years teach wisdom.

For I know not how to flatter; my Maker would soon take me away.

If thou canst, answer me; array thy words before me: take thy stand.

If not, hearken thou unto me; be silent, and I will teach thee wisdom.

What I see not, teach thou me; if I have done wrong, I will do so no more?

But thou art full of the judgments of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.
