7:22 Suddenly he went
like an ox that goes to the slaughter,
like a stag prancing into a trapper’s snare
7:23 till an arrow pierces his liver
like a bird hurrying into a trap,
and he does not know that it will cost him his life.
1:14 You made people like fish in the sea,
like animals in the sea
1:15 The Babylonian tyrant
he hauls them in with his throw net.
When he catches
he is very happy.
1:16 Because of his success
and burns incense to his dragnet;
for because of them he has plenty of food,
and more than enough to eat.
1:17 Will he then
Will he always
1:2 How long, Lord, must I cry for help?
But you do not listen!
I call out to you, “Violence!”
But you do not intervene!
2:1 I will stand at my watch post;
I will remain stationed on the city wall.
I will keep watching, so I can see what he says to me
and can know
when he counters my argument.
