“Do you have eyes of flesh,

or do you see as a human sees?

He says to himself, “God has forgotten;

he hides his face and will never see.”

But you yourself have seen trouble and grief,

observing it in order to take the matter into your hands.

The helpless one entrusts himself to you;

you are a helper of the fatherless.

For troubles without number have surrounded me;

my iniquities have overtaken me; I am unable to see.

They are more than the hairs of my head,

and my courage leaves me.

Let their eyes grow too dim to see,

and let their hips continually quake.

Let your eyes look forward;

fix your gaze[fn] straight ahead.

By rebellious speech an evil person is trapped,

but a righteous person escapes from trouble.

Light is sweet,

and it is pleasing for the eyes to see the sun.

and the ones who watch through the windows see dimly,

Do not stare at me because I am dark,

for the sun has gazed on me.

My mother’s sons were angry with me;

they made me take care of the vineyards.

I have not taken care of my own vineyard.

And he replied:

Go! Say to these people:

Keep listening, but do not understand;

keep looking, but do not perceive.

They will look toward the earth and see only distress, darkness, and the gloom of affliction, and they will be driven into thick darkness.

Therefore I am[fn] filled with anguish.

Pain grips me, like the pain of a woman in labor.

I am too perplexed to hear,

too dismayed to see.

On that day the deaf will hear

the words of a document,

and out of a deep darkness

the eyes of the blind will see.

I chirp like a swallow or a crane;

I moan like a dove.

My eyes grow weak looking upward.

Lord, I am oppressed; support me.
