3
Why are we counted as beasts, And regarded as stupid in your sight?
4
You who tear yourself in anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed from its place?
5
"The light of the wicked indeed goes out, And the flame of his fire does not shine.
6
The light is dark in his tent, And his lamp beside him is put out.
7
The steps of his strength are shortened, And his own counsel casts him down.
8
For he is cast into a net by his own feet, And he walks into a snare.
9
The net takes him by the heel, And a snare lays hold of him.
10
A noose is hidden for him on the ground, And a trap for him in the road.
11
Terrors frighten him on every side, And drive him to his feet.
12
His strength is starved, And destruction is ready at his side.
13
It devours patches of his skin; The firstborn of death devours his limbs.
