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; 18:031:010 Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her. 18:031:011 For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges. 18:031:012 For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase. 18:031:013 If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me; 18:031:014 What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him? 18:031:015 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
