²³ Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?

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

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

²⁷ Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

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

⁹ He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.

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.

⁸ And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.

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

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

¹⁴ Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
