¹⁰ With a sword in my bones Have mine adversaries reproached me, In their saying unto me all the day, `Where `is' thy God?'

³ My tear hath been to me bread day and night, In their saying unto me all the day, `Where `is' thy God?'

¹⁷ Between the porch and the altar weep let the priests, ministrants of Jehovah, And let them say: `Have pity, O Jehovah, on Thy people, And give not Thy inheritance to reproach, To the ruling over them of nations, Why do they say among peoples, Where `is' their God?'

¹⁸ A rash speaker is like piercings of a sword, And the tongue of the wise is healing.

¹⁰ And see doth mine enemy, And cover her doth shame, Who saith unto me, `Where `is' Jehovah thy God?' Mine eyes do look on her, Now she is for a treading-place, As mire of the out-places.

³⁵ (and also thine own soul shall a sword pass through) -- that the reasonings of many hearts may be revealed.'
