Lo, he trusteth not his servants, and his angels he chargeth with folly:

Setting up on high those that are low; and mourners are exalted to prosperity.

Now therefore if ye will, look upon me; and it shall be to your face if I lie.

If I lie down, I say, When shall I rise up, and the darkness be gone? and I am full of tossings until the dawn.

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.

He shall lean upon his house, and it shall not stand; he shall lay hold on it, but it shall not endure.

Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not; and he passeth along, and I perceive him not.

Be it a question of strength, lo, he is strong; and be it of judgment, who will set me a time?

There is not an umpire between us, who should lay his hand upon us both.

Yea, thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; and many shall seek thy favour.

Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.

His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, and he perceiveth it not.

Lay down now a pledge, be thou surety for me with thyself: who is he that striketh hands with me?

His bones were full of his youthful strength; but it shall lie down with him in the dust.

Mark me, and be astonished, and lay the hand upon the mouth.

Together they lie down in the dust, and the worms cover them.

Lo, I know your thoughts, and the devices ye wrongfully imagine against me.

Receive, I pray thee, instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in thy heart.

When they are made low, then thou shalt say, Rise up! and he shall save him that is of downcast eyes.

Lo, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I do not perceive him;

Lo, as wild asses in the desert, they go forth to their work, seeking early for the prey: the wilderness yieldeth them food for their children.

They are exalted for a little, and are no more; they are laid low; like all other are they gathered, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.

Lo, even the moon is not bright; and the stars are not pure in his sight:

Lo, these are the borders of his ways; but what a whisper of a word do we hear of him! And the thunder of his power, who can understand?

And unto man he said, Lo, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

My root shall be spread out to the waters, and the dew will lie all night on my branch;

Lo, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasonings, until ye searched out what to say.

Lo, he findeth occasions of hostility against me, he counteth me for his enemy;

Lo, all these things worketh God twice, thrice, with man,

Should I lie against my right? My wound is incurable without transgression.

Lo, God is mighty, but despiseth not any; mighty in strength of understanding:

Lo, God is exalted in his power: who teacheth as he?

Lo, God is great, and we comprehend him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.

Lo, he spreadeth his light around him, and covereth the bottom of the sea.

When the waters lie hidden as in stone, and the face of the deep holdeth fast together.

When they crouch in their dens, and abide in the thicket to lie in wait?

Behold, I am nought: what shall I answer thee? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.

Look on every one that is proud, bring him low, and tread down the wicked in their place:

Lo, the river overfloweth he startleth not: he is confident though a Jordan break forth against his mouth.

Lay thy hand upon him; remember the battle, do no more!

Lo, hope as to him is belied: is not one cast down even at the sight of him?
