"Behold, I am of small account. What shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.

Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?

The lotuses cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook surround him.

Shall any take him when he is on the watch, or pierce through his nose with a snare?
