Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, My way is hidden from Jehovah and my judgment is passed over by God?

Behold, He breaks down, and it cannot be rebuilt; He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.

He has fenced up my way, so that I cannot pass; and He has set darkness in my paths.

and have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a broad place.

He has fenced me in and I cannot go out; He has made my bronze chain heavy.

He walled up my ways with hewn stone; my paths are crooked.

Therefore, behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and I will close off her wall, so that she shall not find her paths.
