10Those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Bound in affliction and irons—

10Some sat in deepest darkness, shackled with cruel iron,

11Because they rebelled against the words of God, And despised the counsel of the Most High,

11because they had rebelled against the command of God, despising the advice of the Most High.

12Therefore He brought down their heart with labor; They fell down, and there was none to help.
