Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:

For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.

O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.

The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.

Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.

Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.

If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;

And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?

And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:

Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.

He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.

His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.

The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.

On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:

Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?

The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.

Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.

Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
