5If indeed you vaunt yourselves against me And prove my disgrace to me, 6Know 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. 8He has walled up my way so that I cannot pass, And He has put darkness on my paths. 9He has stripped my honor from me And removed the crown from my head.
