3 ♥ 📝 These ten^H6235 times^H6471 have ye reproached^H3637 me: Ye are not ashamed^H954 that ye deal hardly^H1970 with me.

4 ♥ 📝 And be it indeed^H551 that I have erred,^H7686 Mine error^H4879 remaineth^H3885 with myself.

5 ♥ 📝 If indeed^H551 ye will magnify^H1431 yourselves against me, And plead^H3198 against me my reproach;^H2781

6 ♥ 📝 Know^H3045 now^H645 that God^H433 hath subverted^H5791 me [in my cause], And hath compassed^H5362 me with his net.^H4686

7 ♥ 📝 Behold, I cry out^H6817 of wrong,^H2555 but I am not heard:^H6030 I cry^H7768 for help, but there is no justice.^H4941

8 ♥ 📝 He hath walled up^H1443 my way^H734 that I cannot pass,^H5674 And hath set^H7760 darkness^H2822 in my paths.^H5410

13 ♥ 📝 He hath put^H7368 my brethren^H251 far^H7368 from me, And mine acquaintance^H3045 are wholly estranged^H2114 from me.

14 ♥ 📝 My kinsfolk^H7138 have failed,^H2308 And my familiar friends^H3045 have forgotten^H7911 me.

15 ♥ 📝 They that dwell^H1481 in my house,^H1004 and my maids,^H519 count^H2803 me for a stranger;^H2114 I am an alien^H5237 in their sight.^H5869

16 ♥ 📝 I call^H7121 unto my servant,^H5650 and he giveth me no answer,^H6030 [Though] I entreat^H2603 him with^H1119 my mouth.^H6310

19 ♥ 📝 All my familiar^H5475 friends^H4962 abhor^H8581 me, And they whom I loved^H157 are turned^H2015 against me.

20 ♥ 📝 My bone^H6106 cleaveth^H1692 to my skin^H5785 and to my flesh,^H1320 And I am escaped^H4422 with the skin^H5785 of my teeth.^H8127

22 ♥ 📝 Why do ye persecute^H7291 me as God,^H410 And are not satisfied^H7646 with my flesh?^H1320

28 ♥ 📝 If ye say,^H559 How we will persecute^H7291 him! And that the root^H8328 of the matter^H1697 is found^H4672 in me;

29 ♥ 📝 Be ye afraid^H1481 of the sword:^H2719 For wrath^H2534 [bringeth] the punishments^H5771 of^H6440 the sword,^H2719 That ye may know^H3045 there is a judgment.^H1779
