5 If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me, and plead against me my reproach,
6 know then that Eloah has overthrown me, and has surrounded me with His net.
7 See, I cry, ‘Violence!’ but I am not heard. I cry aloud, but there is no right-ruling.
8 He has fenced up my way, and I pass not over. And He has placed darkness in my paths.
9 He has stripped me of my esteem, and taken the crown from my head.
10 He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone; and uproots my expectancy like a tree.
11 And He kindled His wrath against me, and He counts me as one of His enemies.
