3 Sois auprès de toi-même ma caution; Autrement, qui répondrait pour moi?
4 Car tu as fermé leur cœur à l’intelligence; Aussi ne les laisseras-tu pas triompher.
5 On invite ses amis au partage du butin, Et l’on a des enfants dont les yeux se consument.
6 Il m’a rendu la fable des peuples, Et ma personne est un objet de mépris.
7 Mon œil est obscurci par la douleur; Tous mes membres sont comme une ombre.
