1. Why do I strive to draw near to you
When I see you striving to distance yourself from me?

2. You have favored one inferior to your brother
And spurned him though he contends with you

3. After hope, do you despair of me? Then who
After me still hopes in you or envies you?

4. Or how can anyone expect from you one day
A favor when your judgment of me is so corrupt?
