You have become cruel to me; with the power of Your hand You oppose me.
Humble yourselves, then, under the mighty hand of Elohim, so that He exalts you in due time,
‘All those loving you have forgotten you, they do not seek you. For I smote you as an enemy smites, with cruel chastisement, because your crookedness is great, your sins have increased.
You have a mighty arm, Your hand is strong, Your right hand exalted.
Would He contend with me in great power? No! But He would pay attention to me.
Why do you persecute me like Ě
Is it good to You that You should crush, that You should despise the work of Your hands, and shine on the counsel of the wrong?
That it would please Eloah to crush me, loose His hand and cut me off!
And the wrath of Elihu, son of Baraḵ
Why do You hide Your face, and reckon me as Your enemy?
