²¹And it^h will pass through itⁱ distressed and hungry, and this shall happen: when it is hungry, it will be enraged, and it will curse its king and its gods,^j and it will face upward ²²or look to the earth. But look! Distress and darkness, the gloom of affliction! And it will be thrust into darkness!
