(Occurrence 0) He built a wall around me and I cannot escape. He made my chains heavy
(Some words not found in UHB: walled_~_in around,me and=not escape made_~_heavy chains,me )
This represents the continuing suffering. Like a person who cannot escape from prison, the author cannot make his suffering stop. Alternate translation: “My suffering continues. It is as though he has built a wall around me and put heavy chains on me, and I cannot escape”
