⁷ Deep is sounding to deep at the noise of your waterfalls; all your waves have gone rolling over me.

³ In my trouble I was crying to the Lord, and he gave me an answer; out of the deepest underworld I sent up a cry, and you gave ear to my voice.

⁷ The weight of your wrath is crushing me, all your waves have overcome me. (Selah.)

¹⁴ Take me from the grip of the sticky earth, so that I may not go down into it; let me be lifted up from the deep waters.

¹⁵ Let me not be covered by the flowing waters; let not the deep waters go over my head, and let me not be shut up in the underworld.

¹⁴ And a man came to Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses were taking their food by their side:

¹⁵ And the men of Sheba came against them and took them away, putting the young men to the sword, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.

¹⁶ And this one was still talking when another came, and said, The fire of God came down from heaven, burning up the sheep and the goats and the young men completely, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.

¹⁷ And this one was still talking when another came, and said, The Chaldaeans made themselves into three bands, and came down on the camels and took them away, putting the young men to the sword, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.

¹⁸ And this one was still talking when another came, and said, Your sons and your daughters were feasting together in their oldest brother's house,

¹⁹ When a great wind came rushing from the waste land against the four sides of the house, and it came down on the young men, and they are dead; and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.

¹⁵ I have been troubled and in fear of death from the time when I was young; your wrath is hard on me, and I have no strength.

¹⁶ The heat of your wrath has gone over me; I am broken by your cruel punishments.

¹⁷ They are round me all the day like water; they have made a circle about me.

²⁰ News is given of destruction on destruction; all the land is made waste: suddenly my tents, straight away my curtains, are made waste.

⁵³ They have put an end to my life in the prison, stoning me with stones.

⁵⁴ Waters were flowing over my head; I said, I am cut off.

⁵⁵ I was making prayer to your name, O Lord, out of the lowest prison.

²⁶ Destruction will come on destruction, and one story after another; and the vision of the prophet will be shamed, and knowledge of the law will come to an end among the priests, and wisdom among the old.
