May its morning stars become dark; may it wait for daylight in vain and not see the first rays of dawn,
-
I myself have seen a fool taking root, but suddenly his house was cursed.
-
Now you too have proved to be of no help; you see something dreadful and are afraid.
-
Remember, O God, that my life is but a breath; my eyes will never see happiness again.
-
The eye that now sees me will see me no longer; you will look for me, but I will be no more.
-
If I have sinned, what have I done to you, you who see everything we do? Why have you made me your target? Have I become a burden to you?
-

-
he will perish forever, like his own dung; those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’
-
The eye that saw him will not see him again; his place will look on him no more.
-
They see their children established around them, their offspring before their eyes.
-
Let their own eyes see their destruction; let them drink the cup of the wrath of the Almighty.
-
why it is so dark you cannot see, and why a flood of water covers you.
-
“Is not God in the heights of heaven? And see how lofty are the highest stars!
-
Thick clouds veil him, so he does not see us as he goes about in the vaulted heavens.’
