2. “How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.

4. You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?
5. “Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, The spark of his fire shall not shine.

7. The steps of his strength shall be shortened. His own counsel shall cast him down.
8. For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.
