He will not come back to his house, and his place will have no more knowledge of him.

If he puts out his hand to take, by whom may it be turned back? who may say to him, What are you doing?

God's wrath may not be turned back; the helpers of Rahab were bent down under him.

O keep in mind that you made me out of earth; and will you send me back again to dust?

Before I go to the place from which I will not come back, to the land where all is dark and black,

If he goes on his way, shutting a man up and putting him to death, who may make him go back from his purpose?

Truly, he keeps back the waters and they are dry; he sends them out and the earth is overturned.

My wrongdoing is corded up in a bag, and my sin is shut up safe.

I might give you strength with my mouth, and not keep back the comfort of my lips.

For in a short time I will take the journey from which I will not come back.

But come back, now, all of you, come; and I will not see a wise man among you.

But come back, now, come: you who are wounding yourself in your passion, will the earth be given up because of you, or a rock be moved out of its place?

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

You do not give water to the tired traveller, and from him who has no food you keep back bread.

If you come back to the Ruler of all, making yourself low before him; if you put evil far away from your tents;

See, I go forward, but he is not there; and back, but I do not see him;

For what is the hope of the sinner when he is cut off, when God takes back his soul?

He keeps back the streams from flowing, and makes the secret things come out into the light.

The chiefs kept back their words, and their tongues were joined to the roofs of their mouths.

If I kept back the desire of the poor; if the widow's eye was looking for help to no purpose;

If his back did not give me a blessing, and the wool of my sheep did not make him warm;

For the fear of God kept me back, and because of his power I might not do such things.

Truly I would take up the book in my hands; it would be to me as a crown;

To keep back his soul from the underworld, and his life from destruction.

Then his flesh becomes young again, and he comes back to the days of his early strength;

After it a voice is sounding, thundering out the word of his power; he does not keep back his thunder-flames; from his mouth his voice is sounding.
