Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, [which are] as wind?
Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig [a pit] for your friend.
Now therefore be content, look upon me; for [it is] evident unto you if I lie.
Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness [is] in it.
Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?
[Is there] not an appointed time to man upon earth? [are not] his days also like the days of an hireling?
As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for [the reward of] his work:
So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.
