as the young of a swallow, so I shall cry; I shall bethink as a culver. Mine eyes beholding on high, be made feeble. Lord, I suffer violence, answer thou for me;
Thy sons be cast forth, they slept in the head of all ways, as the beast oryx, taken with a snare; they be full of [the] indignation of the Lord, of the blaming of thy God.
and doom was turned aback, and rightfulness [or rightwiseness] stood [a] far; for why truth fell down in the street, and equity, either evenness, might not enter.

Therefore doom is made far from us, and rightfulness [or rightwiseness] shall not take us; we abided light, and lo! darknesses be; we abided shining, and we went in darknesses.
