They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.

The gods cower; they crouch together, unable to relieve the burden; but they themselves go into captivity.

They have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not been able to deliver the burden, And themselves into captivity have gone.

They bend, they are bowed down together; they could not deliver the burden, and themselves are gone into captivity.
