1. You rebelled against your judge, so you were brought low,
And you sought to shame him, so you were the ones shamed.

2. How long have you failed to prosper in his prosperity!
And even if he suffered, you would suffer too.

3. He was but a shield for you, had you any sense,
But you have lost your wits, and can no longer see.

4. So here he is, judging in spite of you,
Die raging if you will, and do as you desire!

5. Scratch out lines in the dust with your fingers -
You'll never diminish him on high, try as you might!
