Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, Though they cry in his destruction.

However, does not one falling in a heap of ruins stretch out his hand? Or in his calamity will he not therefore cry for help?

Howbeit doth not one stretch out the hand in his fall? Or in his calamity therefore cry for help?

Surely he won’t strike someone in ruins if in distress he cries out to him,

Truly, then, you do not extend your hand in order to consume them, and if they fall down, you will save them.

But yet thou stretchest not forth thy hand to their consumption: and if they shall fall down thou wilt save.

Behold, I cry out, ‘Violence!’ but I am not answered; I call aloud, but there is no justice.

Oh, that I had one to hear me! (Here is my signature! let the Almighty answer me!) Oh, that I had the indictment written by my adversary!

Let them not say to themselves, “Aha, we have our heart's desire!” Let them not say, “We have swallowed him up.”

“So perish all thine enemies, O Lord! But thy friends be like the sun as he rises in his might.” And the land had rest for forty years.
