Rh :And the uprightness of thy ways?
 * Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent?
 * Or where were the righteous cut off?
 * Even as I have seen,
 * They that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
 * By the blast of God they perish,
 * And by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
 * The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion,
 * And the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
 * The old lion perisheth for lack of prey,
 * And the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.
 * Now a thing was secretly brought to me,
 * And mine ear received a little thereof.
 * In thoughts from the visions of the night,
 * When deep sleep falleth on men,
 * Fear came upon me, and trembling,
 * Which made all my bones to shake.
 * Then a spirit passed before my face;
 * The hair of my flesh stood up:
 * It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof:
 * An image was before mine eyes.
 * There was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,
 * Shall mortal man be more just than God?
