10. Therefore snares are all around you, and sudden fear alarms you,
11. or darkness, so that you do not see, and a flood of water covers you.
12. Is not Eloah in the height of heaven? And see the highest stars, how lofty they are!
13. And you have said, ‘What does Ěl know? Would He judge through the dark cloud?
14. ‘Clouds screen Him, so that He does not see, and He moves about the circuit of the heavens.’
15. Do you observe the old way which wicked men have trod,
16. who were cut down before their time, whose foundations were swept away by a flood?
17. They said to Ěl, ‘Turn aside from us!’ And what did the Almighty do to them?
