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.

7 Mon œil est obscurci par la douleur; Tous mes membres sont comme une ombre.
8 Les hommes droits en sont stupéfaits, Et l’innocent se soulève contre l’impie.
