5. BETH. He has built all around me, and he has encircled me with gall and hardship.
6. BETH. He has gathered me into darkness, like those who are forever dead.
7. GHIMEL. He has built against me all around, so that I may not depart. He has increased the burden of my confinement.
8. GHIMEL. Yet even when I cry out and beg, he excludes my prayer.
9. GHIMEL. He has enclosed my ways with square stones; he has subverted my paths.
