They abandoned Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them; and they provoked Yahweh to anger.

He has walled up my way so that I can’t pass, and has set darkness in my paths.

He has built against me, and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.

Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the bitterness.

You who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth:

Do horses run on the rocky crags? Does one plow there with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness;
