Let the Lord begin to wound me, but let Him not utterly destroy me.

It shall not be so. [Therefore], behold, I [will] add you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your tomb in peace, and your eyes shall not see [any] among all the evils which I bring upon this place.

See how the just man has perished, and no one lays [it] to heart; and righteous men are taken away, and no one considers; for the righteous has been removed out of the way of injustice.

Let him not trust that he shall return from darkness, for he has been already made over to the power of the sword.

His light [shall be] darkness in [his] habitation, and his lamp shall be put out with him.

Let [one] drive him from light into darkness.

I am fenced round about, and can by no means escape: He has set darkness before my face.

The light has proved darkness to you, and water has covered you on your lying down.
