8. Oh that I might have my desire, that Eloah would grant me what I long for!
9. That it would please Eloah to crush me, loose His hand and cut me off!
10. Then I would still have comfort, and I would rejoice in pain, though not spared, for I have not hidden the words of the Set-apart One.

12. Is my strength the strength of stones? Is my flesh of bronze?
