- “I loathe my life; I will give free utterance to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
- 2
- I will say to God, Do not condemn me; let me know why you contend against me.
- 3
- Does it seem good to you to oppress, to despise the work of your hands and favor the designs of the wicked?
- 4
- Have you eyes of flesh? Do you see as man sees?
- 5
- Are your days as the days of man, or your years as a man’s years,
- 6
- that you seek out my iniquity and search for my sin,
- 7
- although you know that I am not guilty, and there is none to deliver out of your hand?
- 8
- Your hands fashioned and made me, and now you have destroyed me altogether.
- 9
- Remember that you have made me like clay; and will you return me to the dust?
- 10
- Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese?
- 11
- You clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
- 12
- You have granted me life and steadfast love, and your care has preserved my spirit.
- 13
- Yet these things you hid in your heart; I know that this was your purpose.
- 14
- If I sin, you watch me and do not acquit me of my iniquity.
- 15
- If I am guilty, woe to me! If I am in the right, I cannot lift up my head, for I am filled with disgrace and look on my affliction.
- 16
- And were my head lifted up, you would hunt me like a lion and again work wonders against me.
- 17
- You renew your witnesses against me and increase your vexation toward me; you bring fresh troops against me.
- 18
- “Why did you bring me out from the womb? Would that I had died before any eye had seen me
- 19
- and were as though I had not been, carried from the womb to the grave.
- 20
- Are not my days few? Then cease, and leave me alone, that I may find a little cheer
- 21
- before I go—and I shall not return— to the land of darkness and deep shadow,
- 22
- the land of gloom like thick darkness, like deep shadow without any order, where light is as thick darkness.”

Példabeszéd
Mint a hó a nyárhoz, és az eső az aratáshoz, úgy nem illik a bolondhoz a tisztelet.
