⁵ But now, it cometh in unto thee, And thou art weary; It striketh unto thee, and thou art troubled.

²¹ Pity me, pity me, ye my friends, For the hand of God hath stricken against me.

⁵ and ye have forgotten the exhortation that doth speak fully with you as with sons, `My son, be not despising chastening of the Lord, nor be faint, being reproved by Him,

³ for consider again him who endured such gainsaying from the sinners to himself, that ye may not be wearied in your souls -- being faint.

¹⁶ wherefore, we faint not, but if also our outward man doth decay, yet the inward is renewed day by day;

¹ Because of this, having this ministration, according as we did receive kindness, we do not faint,

¹⁰ Thou hast shewed thyself weak in a day of adversity, Straitened is thy power,

¹⁴ To a despiser of his friends `is' shame, And the fear of the Mighty he forsaketh.

²⁵ For a fear I feared and it meeteth me, And what I was afraid of doth come to me.

²⁶ I was not safe -- nor was I quiet -- Nor was I at rest -- and trouble cometh!

⁵ Yet, put forth, I pray Thee, Thy hand, and strike unto his bone and unto his flesh -- if not: unto Thy face he doth bless Thee!'

¹¹ The work of his hands Thou hast blessed, and his substance hath spread in the land, and yet, put forth, I pray Thee, Thy hand, and strike against anything that he hath -- if not: to Thy face he doth bless Thee!'
