Now because we have maintenance from the king's palace, and it was not meet for us to see the king's dishonour, therefore have we sent and certified the king;

Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.

And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.

And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red sea;

Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.

Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.

For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?

Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:

For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.

O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.

The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.

Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.

Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.

If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;

And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?

And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:

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

The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.

He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.

His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.

The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.

On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:

Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?

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