verse 6 Within his heart he thus hath said, I shall not moved be, From age to age that am not yet in ill adversity. verse 7 His mouth with cursing filled is, deceits and fallacy, Under his tongue perverseness is, also iniquity.
verse 8 In lurking places of the towns he sits; in secret dens He slays the harmless, 'gainst the poor his eyes down slyly bends verse 9 He closely lurks as Lion lurks in den the poor to catch: He lurks and trapping them in's net th' afflicted poor doth snatch.

verse 10 Down doth he crouch, and to the dust he humbly bows withal, ⟨p. 42⟩That so a multitude of poor in his strong paws may •all. verse 11 He saith in's heart God hath forgot, he bides his face away, So that he will not see this thing unto eternal aye.
