18:006:019 The troops of Tema looked, the companies
of Sheba waited for
them.
18:006:020 They were confounded because they had hoped;
they came
thither,
and were ashamed.
18:006:021 For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting
down, and are
afraid.
18:006:022 Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward
for me of your
substance?
18:006:023 Or, Deliver me from the enemy’s hand?
or, Redeem me from the
hand
of the mighty?
18:006:024 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue:
and cause me to
understand
wherein I have erred.
18:006:025 How forcible are right words! but what
doth your arguing
reprove?
18:006:026 Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the
speeches of one that
is
desperate, which are as wind?
18:006:027 Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye
dig a pit for your
friend.
18:006:028 Now therefore be content, look upon me;
for it is evident unto
you
if I lie.
18:006:029 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity;
yea, return again,
my
righteousness is in it.
18:006:030 Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot
my taste discern
perverse
things?
18:007:001 Is there not an appointed time to man upon
earth? are not his
days
also like the days of an hireling?
18:007:002 As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow,
and as an hireling
looketh
for the reward of his work:
18:007:003 So am I made to possess months of vanity,
and wearisome nights
are
appointed to me.
18:007:004 When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise,
and the night be
gone?
and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning
of
the
day.
18:007:005 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods
of dust; my skin is
broken,
and become loathsome.
18:007:006 My days are swifter than a weaver’s
shuttle, and are spent
without
hope.
18:007:007 O remember that my life is wind: mine
eye shall no more see
good.
18:007:008 The eye of him that hath seen me shall
see me no more: thine
eyes
are upon me, and I am not.
18:007:009 As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth
away: so he that goeth
down
to the grave shall come up no more.
18:007:010 He shall return no more to his house, neither
shall his place
know
him any more.
18:007:011 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.
18:007:012 Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?
18:007:013 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my
couch shall ease my
complaints;
