God abandons me to evil ¹  men, ²  and throws ³  me into the hands of wicked men.

Even the doe abandons her newborn fawn ¹  in the field because there is no grass.

Severe discipline ¹  is for the one who abandons the way; the one who hates reproof ²  will die.

For the Lord promotes ¹  justice, and never abandons ²  his faithful followers. They are permanently secure, ³  but the children ⁴  of evil men are wiped out. ⁵ 

Woe to the worthless shepherd who abandons the flock! May a sword fall on his arm and his right eye! May his arm wither completely away, and his right eye become completely blind!”
