And the integrity of your ways your hope?

Or where were the upright ever cut off?

And by the breath of His anger they are consumed.

10 The roaring of the lion,

And ^athe teeth of the young lions are broken.

11 ^aThe old lion perishes for lack of prey,
And the cubs of the lioness are scattered.

12 “Now a word was secretly brought to me,
And my ear received a whisper of it.

13 ^aIn disquieting thoughts from the visions of the night,
When deep sleep falls on men,
