⁴ For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.

¹³ His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.

⁶ Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.

⁸ He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.

¹² His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.

⁸ Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

⁴ He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.

⁷ He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.

⁶ Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
