6 But He has made me a byword of the people, whereas in former times I was as a drum.
7 And from sorrow my eye has grown dim, and all my members are like shadows.
8 Upright ones are astonished at this, and the innocent stirs himself up against the defiled one.
9 And the righteous holds to his way, and he who has clean hands becomes stronger and stronger.
10 But please, come back again, all of you, for I do not find a wise one among you.
11 My days have passed by, my plans have been broken off – the desires of my heart.
12 They would turn night into day, saying that light is near, in the presence of darkness!
