1. Pray, call, is there any to answer thee? And unto which of the holy ones dost thou turn?
2. For provocation slayeth the perverse, And envy putteth to death the simple,
3. I--I have seen the perverse taking root, And I mark his habitation straightway,
4. Far are his sons from safety, And they are bruised in the gate, And there is no deliverer.
