Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles.
The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
