I am determined to obey your statutes at all times, to the very end.

The enemies who chase me are numerous. Yet I do not turn aside from your rules.

Arrogant people do nothing but scoff at me. Yet I do not turn aside from your law.

However, because I called but you refused to listen, because I stretched out my hand but no one paid attention,

So see here, I have stretched out my hand against you and cut off your rations. I have delivered you into the power of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed by your obscene conduct.

take note, I have stretched out my hand against you, and I will hand you over as plunder to the nations. I will cut you off from the peoples and make you perish from the lands. I will destroy you; then you will know that I am the Lord.’”
