Each strays off in his own direction,

leaving no one to rescue you.”

and your many incantations,

maybe you will scare away disaster.

but you do not say, ‘I give up.’

You get renewed energy,

so you don’t collapse.

62:8 The Lord swears an oath by his right hand,

by his strong arm:

to your enemies as food,

and foreigners will not drink your wine,

which you worked hard to produce.
