Behold, he goes by me, and I don’t see him. He passes on also, but I don’t perceive him.

tamen sordibus intinges me, et abominabuntur me vestimenta mea.

Neque enim viro qui similis mei est, respondebo ; nec qui mecum in judicio ex aequo possit audiri.
For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, that we should come together in judgment.
他本不像我是人，使我可以回答他， 又使我們可以同聽審判。
9:33
Non est qui utrumque valeat arguere, et ponere manum suam in ambobus.
There is no umpire between us, that might lay his hand on us both.
我們中間沒有聽訟的人 可以向我們兩造按手。

Auferat a me virgam suam, et pavor ejus non me terreat.
Let him take his rod away from me. Let his terror not make me afraid;
願他把杖離開我， 不使驚惶威嚇我。
