Darkened be the stars of its twilight, - Let it wait for light, and there be none, neither let it see the eyelashes of the dawn:

So far as I have seen, They who plow for iniquity and sow misery, reap the same:

I, have seen the foolish taking root, and then hath his home decayed, in a moment:

Yet indeed, I, would seek unto El, and, unto Elohim, would I set forth any cause: -

And thou shalt know, that numerous is thy seed, and, thine offspring, like the young shoots of the field.

For, now, ye have come to him, ye see something fearful, and fear.

Remember thou, that, a wind, is my life, not again shall mine eye see blessing:

Nor shall see me - the eye that used to behold me, Thine eyes, are upon me, and I am not.

And why wilt thou not remove my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? For, now, in the dust, should I lie down, and thou shouldst seek me diligently, and I should not be.

Yet, if, thou thyself, wilt diligently seek unto GOD, - and, unto the Almighty, wilt make supplication;

If one destroy him out of his place, then will it disown him saying - I have not seen thee.

Lo! he cometh upon me, yet can I not see him, Yea he passeth on, yet can I not discern him.

My days, therefore, are swifter than a runner, They have fled, they have seen no good.

That thou shouldst seek for mine iniquity, and, for my sin, shouldst make search:

Wherefore then, from the womb, didst thou bring me forth? I might have breathed my last, and, no eye, have seen me.

Lo! all this , hath mine own eye seen, - Mine ear hath heard and understood it:

I will tell thee - hear me, Since this I have seen, I must needs declare it.

Where then would be my hope? And, as for my blessedness, who should see it!

Let him have neither scion nor seed among his people, neither any survivor in his place of sojourn:

And, though, after my skin is struck off, this followeth , yet, apart from my flesh, shall I see GOD:

Whom, I myself, shall see, on my side, and, mine own eyes, shall have looked upon, and not those of a stranger. Exhausted are my deepest desires in my bosom!

Like his own stubble, shall he utterly perish, They who had seen him, shall say, Where is he?

His children, shall seek the favour of the poor, and, his own hand, shall give back his wealth.

Let him not see in the channels the flowings of torrents of honey and milk.

Their seed, is established in their sight, along with them, yea their offspring, before their eyes;

His own eyes, shall see his misfortune, and, the wrath of the Almighty, shall he drink.

Or darkness - thou canst not see, and, a flood of waters, covereth thee.

Dark clouds, are a veil to him, and he cannot see, or, the vault of the heavens, doth he walk?

The righteous shall see and rejoice, and, the innocent, shall laugh them to scorn:

On the north, where he worketh, but I get no vision, He hideth himself on the south that I cannot see him.

And, the eye of the adulterer, watcheth for the evening twilight, saying, Not an eye will see me! A covering for the face, he putteth on;

Lo! ye, have, all of you, seen, Wherefore, then, is it, that ye are utterly without purpose?

Among the rocks, hath he cut open streams, and, every precious thing, hath his eye seen:

Would, he, not see my ways? and of all my steps, take account?

What I see not, do, thou, shew me, If, perverseness, I have wrought, I will do it no more?

Look at the heavens and see, - and survey the skies - they are higher than thou.

Yet, now, men see not the light, bright though it is in the skies, when, a wind, hath passed over, and cleansed them.

Hast thou entered into the treasuries of the snow? And, the treasuries of the hail, couldst thou see?

Wilt thou put faith in him, that he will bring back thy seed? and that, corn for thy threshing-floor, he will gather?

By the hearing of the ear, had I heard thee, but, now, mine own eye, hath seen thee.
