²² And call Thou, and I -- I answer, Or -- I speak, and answer Thou me.

¹⁵ Thou dost call, and I -- I answer Thee; To the work of Thy hands Thou hast desire.

¹⁶ Though I had called and He answereth me, I do not believe that He giveth ear `to' my voice.

³² But if a man like myself -- I answer him, We come together into judgment.

³ Gird, I pray thee, as a man, thy loins, And I ask thee, and cause thou Me to know.

⁴ Lo, I have been vile, What do I return to Thee? My hand I have placed on my mouth.

⁵ Once I have spoken, and I answer not, And twice, and I add not.

³ `Who `is' this, hiding counsel without knowledge?' Therefore, I have declared, and understand not, Too wonderful for me, and I know not.

⁴ `Hear, I pray thee, and I -- I do speak, I ask thee, and cause thou me to know.'

⁵ By the hearing of the ear I heard Thee, And now mine eye hath seen Thee.

⁶ Therefore do I loathe `it', And I have repented on dust and ashes.
