<p class="poetry">The eye of him who sees me now will see me no more;<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">your eyes will look for me, but I will be gone.<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">And the eye of the adulterer watches for the twilight,p> <p class="poetry">thinking,<n id="1" /> &#8216;No eye can see me,&#8217;p> <p class="poetry">and covers his face with a mask.p>

<p class="poetry">For you have said, &#8216;My teaching<n id="1" /> is flawless,p> <p class="poetry">and I am pure in your sight.&#8217;p>

<p class="poetry">Why<n id="1" /> has your heart carried you away,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">and why do your eyes flash,<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">My intercessor is my friend<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">as my eyes pour out<n id="2" /> tears to God;p>

<p class="poetry">If a man denounces his friends for personal gain,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">the eyes of his children will fail.p>

<p class="poetry">My eyes have grown dim<n id="1" /> with grief;p> <p class="poetry">my whole frame<n id="2" /> is but a shadow.p>

<p class="poetry">Why should we be regarded as beasts,p> <p class="poetry">and considered stupid<n id="1" /> in your sight?p>

<p class="poetry">Their children<n id="1" /> are firmly establishedp> <p class="poetry">in their presence,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">their offspring before their eyes.p>

<p class="poetry">Let his own eyes see his destruction;<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">let him drink of the anger of the Almighty.p>

<p class="poetry">I was eyes for the blindp> <p class="poetry">and feet for the lame;p>

<p class="poetry">From there it spots<n id="1" /> its prey,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">its eyes gaze intently from a distance.p>

<p class="poetry">Can anyone catch it by its eyes,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">or pierce its nose with a snare?<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,p> <p class="poetry">but now my eye has seen you.<n id="1" />p>

<p class="poetry">because it<n id="1" /> did not shut the doors<n id="2" /> of my mother&#8217;s womb on me,<n id="3" />p> <p class="poetry">nor did it hide trouble<n id="4" /> from my eyes!p>

<t /><p class="poetry">&#8220;Do you have eyes of flesh,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">or do you see<n id="2" /> as a human being sees?<n id="3" />p>

<t /><p class="poetry">&#8220;Why then did you bring me out from the womb?p> <p class="poetry">I should have died<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">and no eye would have seen me!p>

<t /><p class="poetry">&#8220;Indeed, my eyes have seen all this,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">my ears have heard and understood it.p>

<p class="poetry">If God places no trust in his holy ones,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">if even the heavens<n id="2" /> are not pure in his eyes,p>

<p class="poetry">Surely mockery<n id="1" /> is with me;<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">my eyes must dwell on their hostility.<n id="3" />p>
