10He makes little of kings, rulers are a sport to him; all the strong places are to be laughed at; for he makes earthworks and takes them.
11Then his purpose will be changed, over-stepping the limit; he will make his strength his god.
12Are you not eternal, O Lord my God, my Holy One? for you there is no death. O Lord, he has been ordered by you for our punishment; and by you, O Rock, he has been marked out to put us right.
13Before your holy eyes sin may not be seen, and you are unable to put up with wrong; why, then, are your eyes on the false? why do you say nothing when the evil-doer puts an end to one who is more upright than himself?
14He has made men like the fishes of the sea, like the worms which have no ruler over them.
15He takes them all up with his hook, he takes them in his net, getting them together in his fishing-net: for which cause he is glad and full of joy.
16For this reason he makes an offering to his net, burning perfume to his fishing-net; because by them he gets much food and his meat is fat.
