- Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.
- Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
- He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
- He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
- He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.

- Know then that God has wronged me And has closed His net around me.
- "Behold, I cry, 'Violence!' but I get no answer; I shout for help, but there is no justice.
- "He has walled up my way so that I cannot pass, And He has put darkness on my paths.
- "He has stripped my honor from me And removed the crown from my head.
- "He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone; And He has uprooted my hope like a tree.
