{Indeed}, my help is not in me, and [any] success is driven from me.

They were driven out from fellow people; they shout at them as [at] a thief,

"[The] storm wind comes from its chamber and cold from [the] north wind.

The paths of their way wind [around]; they go up into the wasteland, and they perish.

Do you intend to reprove [my] words and [consider the] words of a desperate [man] as wind?

"{How long} will you say these [things], and the words of your mouth [be] a mighty wind?

And behold, a great wind came from across the desert, and it struck the four corners of the house {so that} it fell upon the young people, and they died. But I escaped, [even] I alone, to tell you."
