Olam 2

My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.

Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary <i>food</i>.

But he <i>is</i> in one <i>mind</i>, and who can turn him? and <i>what</i> his soul desireth, even <i>that</i> he doeth.

For he performeth <i>the thing that is</i> appointed for me: and many such <i>things are</i> with him.

Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.

For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:

Because I was not cut off before the darkness, <i>neither</i> hath he covered the darkness from my face.

Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?

<i>Some</i> remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed <i>thereof</i>.

They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
