How many exiles?

How many?

Your days...

are swifter than a runner,

they flee away,

they see no good.

But if you wash yourself,

in snow water,

and make yourself clean...

I will plunge you into the deep.

You will wander like a drunken man.

It is as high as the heavens,

what can you know?

Deeper than the grave,

what can you do?

Call now,

who will answer you,

to whom will you turn?

Why is light given to one whose way is hidden?

Whose path is completely hemmed in?
