And thy care hath preserved my breath.
Yet these things thou didst hide in thy heart; I know that this is thy plan: If I sin, then thou watchest me, And if I be just, yet I cannot lift up my head! [Sidenote: Job 10:20-22] Are not the days of my life few enough? Let me alone, that I may have a little cheer, Before I go whence I shall not return, To the land of darkness and of gloom, The land dark as blackness, Gloom without a gleam or ray of light. [Sidenote: Job 11:1, 7-9] Then answered Zophar, the Naamathite, and said: Shall the multitude of words be unanswered? Can you find the depths of God? Can you reach the perfection of the Almighty? It is high as heaven; what canst thou do? Deeper than Sheol; what can you know? Its measure is longer than the earth, And broader than the sea. [Sidenote: Job 11:13-15] If you set your heart aright, And stretch out your hands toward him; If iniquity be in thy hand, put it far away, And let not unrighteousness dwell in your tent. |
