Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions;

Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a young plant.

If he have fled from the iron weapon, the bow of brass shall strike him through.

And thou sayest, What doth God know? will he judge through the dark cloud?

In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves in; they know not the light:

He stirreth up the sea by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.

When his lamp shone over my head, and by his light I walked through darkness;

Withered up through want and hunger, they flee into waste places long since desolate and desert:

They come in as through a wide breach: amid the confusion they roll themselves onward.

The night pierceth through my bones and detacheth them from me, and my gnawing pains take no rest:

Because there is wrath, beware lest it take thee away through chastisement: then a great ransom could not avail thee.

Shall he be taken in front? will they pierce through his nose in the trap?
