3 Concede-me, por favor, uma garantia para comigo; quem [outro] há que me dê a mão?

4 Pois aos corações deles tu encobriste do entendimento; portanto não os exaltarás.

5 Aquele que denuncia a seus amigos em proveito próprio, também os olhos de seus filhos desfalecerão.

6 Ele tem me posto por ditado de povos, e em meu rosto é onde eles cospem.

7 Por isso meus olhos se escureceram de mágoa, e todos os membros de meu corpo são como a sombra.
