²⁸ Then they call me, and I do not answer, They seek me earnestly, and find me not.

³ Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with contempt,

⁴ Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!

³¹ and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear;

⁴¹ They cry, and there is no saviour, On Jehovah, and He doth not answer them.

⁶ Therefore hath pride encircled them, Violence covereth them as a dress.

⁷ Their eye hath come out from fat. The imaginations of the heart transgressed;

⁸ They do corruptly, And they speak in the wickedness of oppression, From on high they speak.

¹⁴ I go up above the heights of a thick cloud, I am like to the Most High.

¹⁵ Only -- unto Sheol thou art brought down, Unto the sides of the pit.

¹⁶ Thy beholders look to thee, to thee they attend, Is this the man causing the earth to tremble, Shaking kingdoms?

¹⁷ He hath made the world as a wilderness, And his cities he hath broken down, Of his bound ones he opened not the house.
