15. Then a spirit passed before my face, the hair on my body stood up.
16. It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes – silence, then a voice I heard,

20. ‘From morning till evening they are beaten down, they perish forever, with no one regarding.
21. ‘Are not the cords of their tents pulled up? They die, without wisdom!’
