why it is so dark you cannot see, ¹  and why a flood ²  of water covers you.

Mankind does not know its place; ¹  it cannot be found in the land of the living.

“They are dismayed ²  and cannot answer any more; they have nothing left to say. ³ 

I have spoken once, but I cannot answer; twice, but I will say no more.” ¹ 

They lock tightly together, one to the next; ¹  they cling together and cannot be separated.

Certainly ¹  you are not a God who approves of evil; ²  evil people ³  cannot dwell with you. ⁴ 

Arrogant people cannot stand in your presence; ¹  you hate ²  all who behave wickedly. ³ 

I am like a man who cannot hear and is incapable of arguing his defense. ¹ 

I am silent and cannot open my mouth because of what you have done. ¹ 

God lives within it, ¹  it cannot be moved. ²  God rescues it ³  at the break of dawn. ⁴ 

Do not trust in princes, or in human beings, who cannot deliver! ¹ 

For wisdom is better than rubies, and desirable things cannot be compared ¹  to her.

No one ¹  can be established ²  through wickedness, but a righteous root ³  cannot be moved.

A servant ¹  cannot be corrected ²  by words, for although ³  he understands, there is no answer. ⁴ 

Under three things the earth trembles, ¹  and under four things it cannot bear up:

I cannot carry out ¹  my fierce anger! I cannot totally destroy Ephraim! Because I am God, and not man – the Holy One among you – I will not come in wrath!

We said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father. If he leaves his father, his father ¹  will die.’ ² 

The Lord’s messenger said to him, “You should not ask me my name, because you cannot comprehend it.” ¹ 

I wipe them out and beat them to death; they cannot get up; they fall at my feet.

But evil people are like thorns – all of them are tossed away, for they cannot be held in the hand.
