6

"Is not your  1 afearh3374 of God  byour confidenceh3690, And the integrityh8537 of your waysh1870 your hopeh8615b?

7

"Rememberh2142 nowh4994,  awhoh4310 ever perishedh6 being innocenth5355a? Or whereh375 were the uprighth3477 destroyedh3582?

8

"According to whath834 I have seenh7200,  athose who plowh2790a iniquityh205 And those who sowh2232 troubleh5999 harvesth7114b it.

9

"By  athe breathh5397 of Godh433 they perishh6, And  bby the  1blasth7307 of His angerh639 they comeh3615 to an endh3615.

10

"The  aroaringh7581 of the lionh743b and the voiceh6963 of the fierce lionh7826, And the teethh8127 of the youngh3715 lionsh3715 are brokenh5421.

11

"The  alionh3918 perishesh6 for lackh1097 of preyh2964, And the  bwhelpsh1121 of the lionessh3833b are scatteredh6504.

12

"Now a wordh1697  awas broughth1589 to me stealthilyh1589, And my earh241 receivedh3947 a  bwhisperh8102 of it.

13

"Amid disquietingh8174b  athoughtsh8174b from the visionsh2384 of the nighth3915, When deeph8639 sleeph8639 fallsh5307 on menh376,

14

Dreadh6343 cameh7122 upon me, and tremblingh7461b, And made  1allh7230 my bonesh6106 shakeh6342.

15

"Then a  1spirith7307 passedh2498 by my faceh6440; The hairh8185 of my fleshh1320 bristledh5568 up.

16

"It stoodh5975 stillh5975, but I could not discernh5234 its appearanceh4758; A formh8544 was beforeh5048 my eyesh5869; There was silenceh1827, then I heardh8085 a voiceh6963:

17

`Can  amankindh582 be justh6663  1beforeh4480 Godh433? Can a manh1397 be pureh2891  1beforeh4480 his  bMakerh6213a?

18

aHe putsh539 noh3808 trusth539 evenh2005 in His servantsh5650; And against His angelsh4397 He chargesh7760 errorh8417.

19

`Howh637 muchh637 moreh637 those who dwellh7931 in  ahousesh1004 of clayh2563a, Whoseh834  bfoundationh3247 is in the dusth6083, Who are crushedh1792 beforeh6440 the mothh6211!

20

aBetweenh4480 morningh1242 and eveningh6153 they are brokenh3807 in piecesh3807; Unobservedh1097h7760, they  bperishh6 foreverh5331.

21

`Is not their  atent-cordh3499b pluckedh5265 up within them? They dieh4191, yet  bwithouth3808 wisdomh2451.'
