He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.

He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.

Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths. {make...: Heb. wall a wall}

He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.

Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening. {up: Heb. upon}

His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.

Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: {I am} shut up, and I cannot come forth.

And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.

Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.

He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.

Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths. {make...: Heb. wall a wall}

He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.

Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct {him}? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
