- I cry:
- "[Is it] good²°¹ unto thee that¹ thou shouldest oppress,ª° that¹ thou shouldest despiseª° the workª of thine hands,ª and shineª° upon¹ the counselª of the wicked?ª" {Job 10:3} + "If¹ I be wicked,ª° woeª unto me; and [if] I be righteous,ª° [yet] will I not¹ lift upª° my head.ª [I am] fullª of confusion;ª therefore seeª°²° thou mine affliction;ª ... Thou renewestª° thy witnessesª against¹ me, and increasestª° thine indignationª upon¹ me;² changesª and warª [are] against¹ me." {Job 10:15-17} + "Not¹ for¹ [any] injusticeª in mine hands:ª also my prayerª [is] pure.ª ... Also¹ now,¹ behold,¹ my witnessª [is] in heaven,ª and my recordª [is] on high.ª" {Job 16:17-19} + "Behold,¹ I knowª° your thoughts,ª and the devicesª [which] ye wrongfully imagineª° against¹ me." {Job 21:27} + "O my God,ª I cryª° in the daytime,ª but thou hearestª° not;¹ and in the night season,ª and am not¹ silent.ª" {Psa 22:2} + "For¹ sinceª¹ I spake,ª° I cried out,ª° I criedª° violenceª and spoil;ª because¹ the wordª of the LORDª was made¹ a reproachª unto me, and a derision,ª daily.ª¹" {Jer 20:8} + "Also¹ when¹ I cryª° and shout,ª° he shutteth outª° my prayer.ª" {Lam 3:8} + "O LORD,ª how long¹¹ shall I cry,ª° and thou wilt not¹ hear!ª° [even] cry outª° unto¹ thee [of] violence,ª and thou wilt not¹ save!ª° ... Why¹ dost thou shewª° me iniquity,ª and cause [me] to beholdª° grievance?ª for spoilingª and violenceª [are] before¹ me: and there are¹ [that] raise upª° strifeª and contention.ª" {Hab 1:2-3}
