Behold, as wild assesH6501 in the desertH4057, go they forthH3318 to their workH6467; rising betimesH7836 for a preyH2964: the wildernessH6160 yieldeth foodH3899 for them and for their childrenH5288.

MenH4962 groanH5008 from out of the cityH5892, and the soulH5315 of the woundedH2491 crieth outH7768: yet GodH433 layethH7760 not follyH8604 to them.

In the darkH2822 they dig throughH2864 housesH1004, which they had markedH2856 for themselves in the daytimeH3119: they knowH3045 not the lightH216.
For the morningH1242 is to them even asH3162 the shadow of deathH6757: if one knowH5234 them, they are in the terrorsH1091 of the shadow of deathH6757.

They are exaltedH7426 for a little whileH4592, but are gone and brought lowH4355; they are taken outH7092 of the wayH1870 as all other, and cut offH5243 as the topsH7218 of the ears of cornH7641. {are gone: Heb. are not} {taken…: Heb. closed up}
