34 The Oxford edition inserts here, "Thou shalt inquire diligently; and if thou shalt find that that is certain which is said."
36 Or, "for a man who does not suffer."
42 The Oxford edition adds, "because neither did He account of anything before us."
48 The Oxford edition here interpolates, "if they find themselves in straits and tribulations."
