Instead of it, a broad place with no constraint;

And the comfort of your table full of [fn]fatness.

Judgment and justice take hold of you.

When people [fn]vanish in their place.

Man looks from afar.

They drip upon man abundantly.

The thundering of His [fn]pavilion?

And commands it to strike the mark.

The cattle also, concerning what is coming up.
