3:10 because it did not shut the doors of my mother’s womb on me,
nor did it hide trouble from my eyes!
10:15 If I am guilty, woe to me,
and if I am innocent, I cannot lift my head;
I am full of shame,
and satiated with my affliction.
14:14 If a man dies, will he live again?
All the days of my hard service I will wait
until my release comes.
16:4 I also could speak like you,
if you were in my place;
I could pile up words against you
and I could shake my head at you.
19:27 whom I will see for myself,
and whom my own eyes will behold,
and not another.
My heart grows faint within me.
27:6 I will maintain my righteousness
and never let it go;
my conscience will not reproach me
for as long as I live.
30:15 Terrors are turned loose on me;
they drive away my honor like the wind,
and like a cloud my deliverance has passed away.
31:9 If my heart has been enticed by a woman,
and I have lain in wait at my neighbor’s door,
31:18 but from my youth I raised the orphan like a father,
and from my mother’s womb
I guided the widow!
31:25 if I have rejoiced because of the extent of my wealth,
or because of the great wealth my hand had gained,
31:35 “If only I had someone to hear me!
Here is my signature –
let the Almighty answer me!
If only I had an indictment
that my accuser had written.
40:4 “Indeed, I am completely unworthy – how could I reply to you?
I put my hand over my mouth to silence myself.
