- "Pity me, pity me, O you my friends, For the hand of God has struck me.
- "Why do you persecute me as God does, And are not satisfied with my flesh?
- "Oh that my words were written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
- "That with an iron stylus and lead They were engraved in the rock forever!
- "As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, And at the last He will take His stand on the earth.

- "Have pity on me, my friends, have pity, for the hand of God has struck me.
- Why do you pursue me as God does? Will you never get enough of my flesh?
- "Oh, that my words were recorded, that they were written on a scroll,
- that they were inscribed with an iron tool on lead, or engraved in rock forever!
- I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth.
