Olam 2

Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?

Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?

Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?

Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, <i>which are</i> as wind?

Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig <i>a pit</i> for your friend.

Now therefore be content, look upon me; for <i>it is</i> evident unto you if I lie.

Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness <i>is</i> in it.

Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?

<i>Is there</i> not an appointed time to man upon earth? <i>are not</i> his days also like the days of an hireling?
