In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.

The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.

He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.

They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.

There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen:

They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.

That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?

He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.

He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.

NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.

I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:

In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death.

And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.

Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;

He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.

Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
