When they were but a few men in number, Yea, very few, and sojourners in it.

Egypt was glad when they departed; For the fear of them had fallen upon them.

Nevertheless he regarded their distress, When he heard their cry:

When he is judged, let him come forth guilty; And let his prayer be turned into sin.

I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

I am become also a reproach unto them: When they see me, they shake their head.

Let them curse, but bless thou: When they arise, they shall be put to shame, But thy servant shall rejoice.

When Israel went forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

Then shall I not be put to shame, When I have respect unto all thy commandments.

I will give thanks unto thee with uprightness of heart, When I learn thy righteous judgments.

I will run the way of thy commandments, When thou shalt enlarge my heart.

Mine eyes fail for thy word, While I say, When wilt thou comfort me?

How many are the days of thy servant? When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

I am for peace: But when I speak, they are for war.

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.

If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;

Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;

When Jehovah brought back those that returned to Zion, We were like unto them that dream.

Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: They shall not be put to shame, When they speak with their enemies in the gate.

By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept, When we remembered Zion.

My frame was not hidden from thee, When I was made in secret, And curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, Even the days that were ordained for me , When as yet there was none of them.

If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: When I awake, I am still with thee.

Jehovah, I have called upon thee; make haste unto me: Give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.

As when one ploweth and cleaveth the earth, Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walk Have they hidden a snare for me.

When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth, And our daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace;

When our garners are full, affording all manner of store, And our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;

When our oxen are well laden; When there is no breaking in, and no going forth, And no outcry in our streets:

I also will laugh in the day of your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

When your fear cometh as a storm, And your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; When distress and anguish come upon you.

When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: Yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

Be not afraid of sudden fear, Neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh:

Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, When it is in the power of thy hand to do it.

Say not unto thy neighbor, Go, and come again, And to-morrow I will give; When thou hast it by thee.

Exalt her, and she will promote thee; She will bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her.

When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; And if thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

And thou mourn at thy latter end, When thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

When thou walkest, it shall lead thee; When thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee; And when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

Men do not despise a thief, if he steal To satisfy himself when he is hungry:

When there were no depths, I was brought forth, When there were no fountains abounding with water.

When he established the heavens, I was there: When he set a circle upon the face of the deep,

When he made firm the skies above, When the fountains of the deep became strong,

When he gave to the sea its bound, That the waters should not transgress his commandment, When he marked out the foundations of the earth;

When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more; But the righteous is an everlasting foundation.

When pride cometh, then cometh shame; But with the lowly is wisdom.

When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish; And the hope of iniquity perisheth.

When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth; And when the wicked perish, there is shouting.

Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; But when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

When a man's ways please Jehovah, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: Therefore leave off contention, before there is quarrelling.

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise; When he shutteth his lips, he is esteemed as prudent.

When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt, And with ignominy cometh reproach.

It is bad, it is bad, saith the buyer; But when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.

When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise; And when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination: How much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind!

Train up a child in the way he should go, And even when he is old he will not depart from it.

When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, Consider diligently him that is before thee;

Yea, my heart will rejoice, When thy lips speak right things.

Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, And despise not thy mother when she is old.

Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, When it sparkleth in the cup, When it goeth down smoothly:

They have stricken me,'shalt thou say , and I was not hurt; They have beaten me, and I felt it not: When shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, And let not thy heart be glad when he is overthrown;

Go not forth hastily to strive, Lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, When thy neighbor hath put thee to shame.

When he speaketh fair, believe him not; For there are seven abominations in his heart:

The wicked flee when no man pursueth; But the righteous are bold as a lion.

When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; But when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.

When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; But when they perish, the righteous increase.

When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man beareth rule, the people sigh.

When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth; But the righteous shall look upon their fall.

For a servant when he is king; And a fool when he is filled with food;

For an odious woman when she is married; And a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.

Her husband is known in the gates, When he sitteth among the elders of the land.

For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, and hath not another to lift him up.

Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God; for to draw nigh to hear is better than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they know not that they do evil.

When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou vowest.

When goods increase, they are increased that eat them; and what advantage is there to the owner thereof, save the beholding of them with his eyes?

When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes),

For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

Yea also, when the fool walketh by the way, his understanding faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.

Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!

Happy art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!

Remember also thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

in the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows shall be darkened,

and the doors shall be shut in the street; when the sound of the grinding is low, and one shall rise up at the voice of a bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low;

It was but a little that I passed from them, When I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, Until I had brought him into my mother's house, And into the chamber of her that conceived me.

I opened to my beloved; But my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone. My soul had failed me when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

Oh that thou wert as my brother, That sucked the breasts of my mother! When I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; Yea, and none would despise me.

We have a little sister, And she hath no breasts: What shall we do for our sister In the day when she shall be spoken for?

When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to trample my courts?

And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

And men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth.

to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth.

When a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father,'saying , Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand;

when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof, by the spirit of justice, and by the spirit of burning.

What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?

And if there be yet a tenth in it, it also shall in turn be eaten up: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remaineth, when they are felled; so the holy seed is the stock thereof.

Butter and honey shall he eat, when he knoweth to refuse the evil, and choose the good.

And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits and unto the wizards, that chirp and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? on behalf of the living'should they seek unto the dead?
