Thematic Bible



Thou who hast let us see many distresses and misfortunes, Wilt gain bring us to life, And, out of the resounding depths of the earth, wilt again raise us up;


For, all his days, are pains, and, vexatious, is his employment, even in the night, his heart lieth not down, - even this, was, vanity.

But, his flesh, for himself, is in pain, and, his soul, for himself, doth mourn.

Though, man, to trouble, were born, as, sparks, on high, do soar,

The meshes of death encompassed me, and the distresses of hades, came upon me, Peril and sorrow, I found;

A waiting For prosperity, but no welfare, - For a time of healing, but lo! terror.
