<p class="poetry">Surely now he<n id="1" /> has worn me out,p> <p class="poetry">you have devastated my entire household.p>

<t /><p class="poetry">&#8220;Indeed, you have said in my hearing<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">(I heard the sound of the words!):p>

<p class="poetry">Only his flesh has pain for himself,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">and he mourns for himself.&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

<t /><p class="poetry">&#8220;He has put my relatives<n id="1" /> far from me;p> <p class="poetry">my acquaintances only<n id="2" /> turn away from me.p>

<p class="poetry">Surely it is an empty cry<n id="1" /> &#8211; God does not hear it;p> <p class="poetry">the Almighty does not take notice of it.p>

<p class="bodytext">So the <sc>Lordsc> said to Satan, &#8220;All right,<n id="1" /> he is<n id="2" /> in your power;<n id="3" /> only preserve<n id="4" /> his life.&#8221;p>

<p class="poetry">Even if he slays me, I will hope in him;<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">I will surely<n id="2" /> defend<n id="3" /> my ways to his face!p>

<p class="poetry">Only in two things spare me,<n id="1" /> O God,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">and then I will not hide from your face:p>

<p class="poetry">&#8216;Surely such is the residence<n id="1" /> of an evil man;p> <p class="poetry">and this is the place of one who has not known God.&#8217;&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">Would he contend<n id="1" /> with me with great power?p> <p class="poetry">No, he would only pay attention to me.<n id="2" />p>

<t /><p class="poetry">&#8220;Surely one does not stretch out his handp> <p class="poetry">against a broken man<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">when he cries for help in his distress.<n id="2" />p>
