with skin and flesh: thou hast put me
together with bones and sinews:

10:12. Thou hast granted me life and mercy, and thy visitation hath
preserved my spirit.

10:13. Although thou conceal these things in thy heart, yet I know that
thou rememberest all things.

10:14. If I have sinned, and thou hast spared me for an hour: why dost
thou not suffer me to be clean from my iniquity?

10:15. And if I be wicked, woe unto me: and if just, I shall not lift up
my head, being filled with affliction and misery.

10:16. And for pride thou wilt take me as a lioness, and returning, thou
tormentest me wonderfully.

10:17. Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and multipliest thy wrath
upon me, and pains war against me.

10:18. Why didst thou bring me forth out of the womb? O that I had been
consumed, that eye might not see me!

10:19. I should have been as if I had not been, carried from the womb to
the grave.

10:20. Shall not the fewness of my days be ended shortly? Suffer me,
therefore, that I may lament my sorrow a little:

10:21. Before I go and return no more, to a land that is dark and
covered with the mist of death:

10:22. A land of misery and darkness, where the shadow of death, and no
order, but everlasting horror dwelleth.

11:3. Shall men hold their peace to thee only? and when thou hast mocked
others, shall no man confute thee?

11:4. For thou hast said: My word is pure, and I am clean in thy sight.

11:5. And I wish that God would speak with thee, and would open his lips

manifold, and thou mightest understand that he exacteth much less of
thee, than thy iniquity deserveth.

11:7. Peradventure thou wilt comprehend the steps of God, and wilt find
out the Almighty perfectly?

11:8. He is higher than heaven, and what wilt thou do? he is deeper than
hell, and how wilt thou know?

11:9. The measure of him is longer than the earth, and broader than the
sea.

11:10. If he shall overturn all things, or shall press them together,
who shall contradict him?

11:11. For he knoweth the vanity of men, and when he seeth iniquity,
