5
there is anger and envy and trouble and unrest, and fear of death, and fury and strife. And when one rests upon his bed, his sleep at night confuses his mind.
6
He gets little or no rest, and afterward in his sleep, as though he were on watch, he is troubled by the visions of his mind like one who has escaped from the battle-front;
7
at the moment of his rescue he wakes up, and wonders that his fear came to nothing.
8
With all flesh, both man and beast, and upon sinners seven times more,
9
are death and bloodshed and strife and sword, calamities, famine and affliction and plague.
