The chastisement of my shame I hear, And the spirit of mine understanding Doth cause me to answer:
Be ye afraid because of the sword, For furious are the punishments of the sword, That ye may know that there is a judgment.
These ten times ye put me to shame, ye blush not. Ye make yourselves strange to me--
Therefore my thoughts cause me to answer, And because of my sensations in me.
I shew you by the hand of God, That which is with the Mighty I hide not.
Of the uprightness of my heart are my sayings, And knowledge have my lips clearly spoken.
My mouth speaketh wise things, And the meditations of my heart are things of understanding.
