Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.

Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.

I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.

For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.

O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.

If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.

Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.

Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.

Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?

If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;

Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!

For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?

Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.

Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?

He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.

His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.

Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.

The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.

On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:

He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.

For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;

Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.

The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.

When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:

Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?

If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;

If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:

He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.

He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.

For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.

Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
