Seeker Overlay ON

* »My spirit is broken . My days are extinguished . The grave is waiting for me . * »Mockers surrounded me . My eye dwells on their provocation . * »Please guarantee my bail . Who else will guarantee it with a handshake ? * »You close their minds and hearts so that they cannot understand . That is why you will not honor them . * »Whoever turns in friends to get their property should have his children 's eyesight fail . * »Now he has made me a laughingstock for many people . Now they spit in my face . * »My eyes are dim because of grief . My limbs are like a shadow . * »This shocks decent people . The innocent are against the godless people . * »Yet , the righteous person clings to his way , and the one with clean hands grows stronger . * »But now , you must come and try again ! I will not find one wise man among you . * »My days are passing by . My plans are broken . My dreams are shattered . * »You say that night is day . Light has nearly become darkness . * »Should I look for the grave as my home and make my bed in the darkness ? * »If I say to the pit : You are my father ! And to the worm : You are my mother and sister ! * »Where is my hope ? Can you see any hope left in me ? * »Will hope go down with me to the gates of the grave ? Will my hope rest with me in the dust ?«
