Oh that my request would come! and, my hope, oh that GOD would grant! That it would please GOD to crush me, That he would set free his hand, and cut me off! So might it still be my comfort, And I might exult in the anguish he would not spare, - That I had not concealed the sayings of the Holy One. read more.

Is there not a warfare to a mortal, upon earth? And, as the days of a hireling, are not his days? As, a bondman, panteth for the shadow, and as, a hireling, longeth for his wage, So, have I been made to inherit months of calamity, and, nights of weariness, have been appointed me.
