I would seek to God, and to God would I commit my cause:

And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.

If thou wouldst seek to God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;

But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yes, who knoweth not such things as these?

And dost thou open thy eyes upon such one, and bring me into judgment with thee?

That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?

I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.

Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for the children's sake of my own body.

His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.

He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.

For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.

Hast thou with him spread out the sky which is strong, and as a molten looking-glass?

Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.
