And thou puttest my feet in the stocks, and markest all my paths; thou settest a bound about the soles of my feet; --

Though its root grow old in the earth, and its stock die in the ground,

saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth; for they have turned the back unto me, and not the face; and in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us!

And Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Jehovah.

My people ask counsel of their stock, and their staff declareth unto them; for the spirit of whoredoms causeth them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God:

who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and secured their feet to the stocks.
