4 How long shall they still belching out, ‖ talk what is very hard? ‖ How long shall all they boast themselves ‖ that work iniquity? ‖
5 Thy People, O ETERNAL God, ‖ they break to pieces quite; ‖ and they unto thine heritage ‖ humbling affliction cause. ‖

7 And this is that which they have said, ‖ JAH will not see at all; ‖ nor will the God of Jacob take ‖ a cognisance of it. ‖
