For the thing which I fear cometh upon me, And that which I am afraid of cometh unto me.
I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; But trouble cometh.
He hath walled up my way that I cannot pass, And hath set darkness in my paths.
We looked for peace, but no good came; (and) for a time of healing, and, behold, dismay!
Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul loathed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and, behold, dismay!
