Verse 14
I have been still "Shall I keep silence for ever" - After מעולם meolam , in the copy which the Septuagint had before them, followed the word הלעולם , heleolam , εσιωπησα απ ' αιωνος· Μη και αει σιωπησομαι· according to MSS. Pachom. and 50. D. 2 and Edit. Complut., which word, הלעולם haleolam , has been omitted in the text by an easy mistake of a transcriber, because of the similitude of the word preceding. Shall I always keep silences like that of Juvenal: Semper ego auditor tantum? Shall I always be a hearer only?
