13. And thou hast already forgotten the Lord thy maker that has stretched forth the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth and hast feared continually every day the fury of the oppressor when he was ready to destroy. But, where is the fury of the oppressor?
14. The prisoner is anxious that he may be loosed and that he should not die in the pit nor that his bread should fail.
