18:030:015 Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue
my soul as the wind:
and
my welfare passeth away as a cloud.
18:030:016 And now my soul is poured out upon me;
the days of affliction
have
taken hold upon me.
18:030:017 My bones are pierced in me in the night
season: and my sinews
take
no rest.
18:030:018 By the great force of my disease is my
garment changed: it
bindeth
me about as the collar of my coat.
18:030:019 He hath cast me into the mire, and I am
become like dust and
ashes.
18:030:020 I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear
me: I stand up, and
thou
regardest me not.
18:030:021 Thou art become cruel to me: with
thy strong hand thou
opposest
thyself against me.
18:030:022 Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest
me to ride upon
it,
and dissolvest my substance.
18:030:023 For I know that thou wilt bring me to death,
and to the house
appointed
for all living.
18:030:024 Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand
to the grave, though
they
cry in his destruction.
18:030:025 Did not I weep for him that was in trouble?
was not my soul
grieved
for the poor?
18:030:026 When I looked for good, then evil came
unto me: and when I
waited
for light, there came darkness.
18:030:027 My bowels boiled, and rested not:
the days of affliction
prevented
me.
18:030:028 I went mourning without the sun: I
stood up, and I cried in
the
congregation.
18:030:029 I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.
18:030:030 My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.
18:030:031 My harp also is turned to mourning, and
my organ into the
voice
of them that weep.
18:031:001 I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then
should I think upon
a
maid?
18:031:002 For what portion of God is there from above?
and what
inheritance
of the Almighty from on high?
18:031:003 Is not destruction to the wicked? and a
strange punishment to
the
workers of iniquity?
18:031:004 Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
18:031:005 If I have walked with vanity, or if my
foot hath hasted to
deceit;
18:031:006 Let me be weighed in an even balance that
God may know mine
integrity.
18:031:007 If my step hath turned out of the way,
and mine heart walked
after
mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;
18:031:008 Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea,
let my offspring be
rooted
out.
18:031:009 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman,
or if I have laid
wait
at my neighbour’s door;
