It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,

Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!

For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.

Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.

For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.

He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.
