²⁸ I look but there is no one^(A)—
    no one among the gods to give counsel,^(B)
    no one to give answer^(C) when I ask them.

⁵ I looked, but there was no one^(A) to help,
    I was appalled that no one gave support;
so my own arm^(B) achieved salvation for me,
    and my own wrath sustained me.^(C)

⁶ I have listened^(A) attentively,
    but they do not say what is right.
None of them repent^(B) of their wickedness,
    saying, “What have I done?”
Each pursues their own course^(C)
    like a horse charging into battle.
