But put forth thy hand now and touch all that he hath, and see if he will not curse thee to thy face!

but put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and see if he will not curse thee to thy face!

Let the stars of its twilight be dark; let it wait for light, and have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the dawn:

Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants that have not seen the light.

Even as I have seen, they that plough iniquity and sow mischief, reap the same.

But as for me I will seek unto God, and unto God commit my cause;

And thou shalt know that thy seed is numerous, and thine offspring as the herb of the earth.

So now ye are nothing; ye see a terrible object and are afraid.

Remember thou that my life is wind; mine eye shall no more see good.

The eye of him that hath seen me shall behold me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.

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.

If thou seek earnestly unto God, and make thy supplication to the Almighty,

If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him: I have not seen thee!

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

And my days are swifter than a runner: they flee away, they see no good.

And wherefore didst thou bring me forth out of the womb? I had expired, and no eye had seen me.

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.

I will shew thee, listen to me; and what I have seen I will declare;

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

And if after my skin this shall be destroyed, yet from out of my flesh shall I see +God;

Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another: my reins are consumed within me.

Like his own dung doth he perish for ever; they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?

The eye which saw him shall see him not again; and his place beholdeth him no more.

His children shall seek the favour of the poor, and his hands restore his wealth.

He shall not see streams, rivers, brooks of honey and butter.

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

His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the fury of the Almighty.

Or darkness, that thou canst not see, and floods of waters cover thee.

The righteous see it, and are glad; and the innocent laugh them to scorn:

On the left hand, where he doth work, but I behold him not; he hideth himself on the right hand, and I see him not.

Why are not times treasured up with the Almighty? why do not they that know him see his days?

And the eye of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me; and he putteth a covering on his face.

Behold, ye yourselves have all seen it; and why are ye thus altogether vain?

It is a path no bird of prey knoweth, and the vulture's eye hath not seen it;

Then did he see it, and declare it; he established it, yea, and searched it out;

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

If I have seen any perishing for want of clothing, or any needy without covering;

His flesh is consumed away from view, and his bones that were not seen stick out;

He shall pray unto +God, and he will receive him with favour; and he shall see his face with shoutings, and he will render unto man his righteousness.

He hath delivered my soul from going into the pit, and my life shall see the light.

What I see not, teach thou me; if I have done wrong, I will do so no more?

Look unto the heavens and see; and survey the skies: they are higher than thou.

Although thou sayest thou dost not see him, judgment is before him, therefore wait for him.

And now men see not the light as it gleameth, it is hidden in the skies. But the wind passeth by and cleareth them.

Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee? and hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death?

Hast thou entered into the storehouses of the snow, and hast thou seen the treasuries of the hail,

Wilt thou trust him to bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy threshing-floor?

See now the behemoth, which I made with thee: he eateth grass as an ox.
