2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.
25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side.
