He weakeneth the government of kings, and bindeth their loins with a fetter;

They forced, into a fetter, his foot, Into the iron, entered his soul;

He is going after her straightway, As an ox unto the slaughter he cometh, And as a fetter unto the chastisement of a fool,

He hath hedged me about, and I go not out, He hath made heavy my fetter.

And to slaughter sinners have gone deep, And I am a fetter to them all.

Then his ears were [at once] opened and his tongue freed from its fetter ??he began to speak correctly.

For I see that you are provoked by bitterness and bound by sin.”
