17 なんぢわが靈魂をして平和を遠くはなれしめたまへば我は福祉をわすれたり
Vau. And my soul is removed far off from peace, I have forgotten good things.
18 是において我みづから言り わが氣力うせゆきぬ ヱホバより何を望むべきところ無しと
Vau. And I said: My end and my hope is perished from the Lord.

38 禍も福もともに至高者の口より出るにあらずや
Mem. Shall not both evil and good proceed out of the mouth of the Highest?
39 活る人なんぞ怨言べけんや 人おのれの罪の罰せらるるをつぶやくべけんや
