Gen. Rev.
Can't find the answer are looking for?
Ask a QuestionHast thou not poured me out as milk, And curdled me like cheese?
[As] the waters fail from the sea, And the river wasteth and drieth up;
Wherefore are we counted as beasts, [And] are become unclean in your sight?
Then I said, I shall die in my nest, And I shall multiply my days as the sand:
They are driven forth from the midst [of men]; They cry after them as after a thief;
Canst thou with him spread out the sky, Which is strong as a molten mirror?
They gape upon me with their mouth, [As] a ravening and a roaring lion.
As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb.
They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, They mark my steps, Even as they have waited for my soul.
Iniquities prevail against me: As for our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them.
I am as a wonder unto many; But thou art my strong refuge.
They are not in trouble as [other] men; Neither are they plagued like [other] men.
They seemed as men that lifted up Axes upon a thicket of trees.
O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind.
Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, As the streams in the South.
Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, Which withereth before it groweth up;
[As] a ring of gold in a swine's snout, [So is] a fair woman that is without discretion.
He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; But the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.
The beginning of strife is [as] when one letteth out water: Therefore leave off contention, before there is quarrelling.
