And ashes in His sight.

Is it not meet

For those who bear His discipline, to say

I bow submissive to the chastening Hand

That smites my inmost soul? Oh teach me that

Which through my blindness I have failed to see,

For I have sinn'd, but will offend no more.

Say, is it right, Oh Job, for thee to hold

Thyself superior to the All-Perfect Mind?

If thou art righteous what giv'st thou to Him
