10 Therefore snares
are all around you,
And sudden fear troubles you,
11 Or darkness
so that you cannot see;
And an abundance of
awater covers you.
12 “Is not God in the height of heaven?
And see the highest stars, how lofty they are!
13 And you say,
a‘What does God know?
Can He judge through the deep darkness?
14 aThick clouds cover Him, so that He cannot see,
And He walks above the circle of heaven.’
15 Will you keep to the old way
Which wicked men have trod,
16 Who
awere cut down before their time,
Whose foundations were swept away by a flood?
