For do not say, O Jacob, and why have you spoken, O Israel, [saying], My way is hid from God, and my God has taken away [my] judgment, and has departed?

If He should cast down, who will build up? If He should shut up against man, who shall open?

I am fenced round about, and can by no means escape: He has set darkness before my face.

And You have not shut me up into the hands of the enemy; You have set my feet in a wide place.

He has hedged me in, and I cannot come forth; He has made my bronze chain heavy.

DALETH. He has built up my ways, He has hedged my paths;

Therefore, behold, I hedge up her way with thorns, and I will stop the ways, and she shall not find her path.
