Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.

He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.

And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.

He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.

He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.

Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
