Then a spirit passed before my face; The hair of my flesh stood up.

For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, The poison whereof my spirit drinketh up: The terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.

Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

Thou hast granted me life and lovingkindness; And thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.

For there is hope of a tree, If it be cut down, that it will sprout again, And that the tender branch thereof will not cease.

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

My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, The grave is ready for me.

If I look for Sheol as my house; If I have spread my couch in the darkness;

I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame; And the spirit of my understanding answereth me.

To whom hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?

By his Spirit the heavens are garnished; His hand hath pierced the swift serpent.

(For my life is yet whole in me, And the spirit of God is in my nostrils);

My root is spread out to the waters, And the dew lieth all night upon my branch;

But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

For I am full of words; The spirit within me constraineth me.

The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Almighty giveth me life.

If he set his heart upon himself, If he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;

Canst thou with him spread out the sky, Which is strong as a molten mirror?
