According as I have seen, those who plow iniquity, and sow trouble, reap the same.

I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation.

But as for me, I would seek to God. And to God I would commit my cause,

Thou shall know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.

For now ye are nothing. Ye see a terror, and are afraid.

O remember that my life is a breath. My eye shall no more see good.

The eye of him who sees me shall behold me no more. Thine eyes shall be upon me, but I shall not be.

And why do thou not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? For now I shall lay down in the dust, and thou will seek me diligently, but I shall not be.

if thou would seek diligently to God, and make thy supplication to the Almighty,

If he is destroyed from his place, then it shall deny him, [saying], I have not seen thee.

Lo, he goes by me, and I do not see him. He also passes on, but I do not perceive him.

Now my days are swifter than a runner. They flee away. They see no good,

Have thou eyes of flesh? Or do thou see as man sees?

Why then have thou brought me forth out of the womb? I would have given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me.

For he knows FALSE men. He also sees iniquity. Will he not then consider it?

Lo, my eye has seen all [this]. My ear has heard and understood it.

I will show thee. Hear thou me, and that which I have seen I will declare,

where then is my hope? And as for my hope, who shall see it?

And after my skin, this [body], is destroyed, then outside my flesh I shall see God,

whom I, even I, shall see on my side, and my eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger. My heart is consumed within me.

yet he shall perish forever like his own dung. Those who have seen him shall say, Where is he?

The eye which saw him shall see him no more, neither shall his place any more behold him.

His sons shall seek the favor of the poor, and his hands shall give back his wealth.

Their seed is established with them in their sight, and their offspring before their eyes.

Let his own eyes see his destruction, and let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

or darkness, so that thou cannot see, and abundance of waters cover thee.

Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he does not see, and he walks on the vault of heaven.

The righteous see it, and are glad. And the innocent laugh them to scorn,

on the left hand, when he works, but I cannot behold him. He hides himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him.

Why are times not laid up by the Almighty? And why do those who know him not see his days?

The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me. And he disguises his face.

Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it. Why then have ye become altogether vain?

No bird of prey knows that path, nor has the falcon's eye seen it.

He cuts out channels among the rocks, and his eye sees every precious thing.

For he looks to the ends of the earth, and sees under the whole heaven,

Does he not see my ways, and number all my steps?

if I have seen any perish for lack of clothing, or that the needy had no covering;

His flesh is consumed away that it cannot be seen. And his bones that were not seen stick out.

He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy, and he restores to man his righteousness.

For his eyes are upon the ways of a man, and he sees all his goings.

Teach thou me that which I do not see. If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more?

Look to the heavens, and see. And behold the skies, which are higher than thou.

And now men do not see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.

Have the gates of death been revealed to thee? Or have thou seen the gates of the shadow of death?

Have thou entered the treasuries of the snow, or have thou seen the treasures of the hail,

Will thou confide in him that he will bring home thy seed, and gather [the grain] of thy threshing-floor?

I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees thee.
