And I looked, and {there was} none to help; and I wondered that {there was} none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.

I looked on {my} right hand, and beheld, but {there was} no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. {I looked...: or, Look on the right hand, and see} {failed...: Heb. perished from me} {cared...: Heb. sought after}

And they all forsook him, and fled.

I have heard many such things: miserable comforters {are} ye all. {miserable: or, troublesome}

At my first answer no man stood with me, but all {men} forsook me: {I pray God} that it may not be laid to their charge.

And they that had laid hold on Jesus led {him} away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, {and} with the contempt of the proud.

And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?

Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.

And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. {his own: or, his own home}

O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. {the hill...: or, the little hill}

And others had trial of {cruel} mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:

Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

{As} with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where {is} thy God? {sword: or, killing}

Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

I looked on {my} right hand, and beheld, but {there was} no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. {I looked...: or, Look on the right hand, and see} {failed...: Heb. perished from me} {cared...: Heb. sought after}

For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.

And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest? {how...: Heb. of thy peace?}

So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of {such as were} oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors {there was} power; but they had no comforter. {side: Heb. hand}

He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.

He giveth {his} cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.

For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.

For these {things} I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed. {relieve: Heb. bring back}

Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. {of Christ: or, for Christ}

Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.

And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

Mine enemies reproach me all the day; {and} they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

When the wicked cometh, {then} cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.

My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

These two {things} are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee? {are...: Heb. happened} {destruction: Heb. breaking}

My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
