Cade
“My enemies,
Without cause,
Have hunted me
Like a bird.
They flung me
Alive
Into a pit.
They hurled stones
On me.
Water closed
Over my head.
I said.
‘I am lost.’”
This personal story continues. The author’s enemies have hunted him down like a bird, even though there was no reason to do so. They have flung him alive into a pit and threw stones over him. Then water closed over his head in this pit. He finally said that he was lost with no way out. This is reminiscent of Jeremiah in the cistern well under King Zedekiah in Jeremiah, chapter 38. These three verses start with the Hebrew consonant letter Cade in this acrostic poem.
