And the Lord said to the Satan, See, I give all he has into your hands, only do not put a finger on the man himself. And the Satan went out from before the Lord.

And the men of Sheba came against them and took them away, putting the young men to the sword, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.

And this one was still talking when another came, and said, The fire of God came down from heaven, burning up the sheep and the goats and the young men completely, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.

And this one was still talking when another came, and said, The Chaldaeans made themselves into three bands, and came down on the camels and took them away, putting the young men to the sword, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.

When a great wind came rushing from the waste land against the four sides of the house, and it came down on the young men, and they are dead; and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.

But now, if you only put your hand on his bone and his flesh, he will certainly be cursing you to your face.

And the Lord said to the Satan, See, he is in your hands, only do not take his life.

If only my passion might be measured, and put into the scales against my trouble!

If only I might have an answer to my prayer, and God would give me my desire!

If only he would be pleased to put an end to me; and would let loose his hand, so that I might be cut off!

But if only God would take up the word, opening his lips in argument with you;

But the eyes of the evil-doers will be wasting away; their way of flight is gone, and their only hope is the taking of their last breath.

If only you would keep quiet, it would be a sign of wisdom!

Your wise sayings are only dust, and your strong places are only earth.

Only two things do not do to me, then I will come before your face:

If only a clean thing might come out of an unclean! But it is not possible.

If only you would keep me safe in the underworld, putting me in a secret place till your wrath is past, giving me a fixed time when I might come to your memory again!

Only his flesh still has pain, and his soul is sad.

For only to them was the land given, and no strange people were among them:)

Such things have frequently come to my ears: you are comforters who only give trouble.

And, truly, if I have been in error, the effect of my error is only on myself.

If only my words might be recorded! if they might be put in writing in a book!

Is it possible for a man to be of profit to God? No, for a man's wisdom is only of profit to himself.

If only I had knowledge of where he might be seen, so that I might come even to his seat!

See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.

Destruction and Death say, We have only had word of it with our ears.

If only I might again be as I was in the months which are past, in the days when God was watching over me!

They are wasted for need of food, biting the dry earth; their only hope of life is in the waste land.

If only God would give ear to me, and the Ruler of all would give me an answer! or if what he has against me had been put in writing!

Only put your hand on him, and see what a fight you will have; you will not do it again!
