They mar my path,\par\tab They set forward my calamity,\par\tab {\i Even} men that have no helper.
And I am very sore displeased with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they that lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.\par
For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten;\par\tab And they tell of the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.
As through a wide breach they come:\par\tab In the midst of the ruin they roll themselves {\i upon me}.
