Howbeit doth not one stretch out the hand in his fall? Or in his calamity therefore cry for help?

Yet no one stretches out his hand to a ruined man when he cries for help in his distress.

Surely not against the heap Doth He send forth the hand, Though in its ruin they have safety.

Indeed, no prayer [availeth] when he stretcheth out [his] hand: though they cry when he destroyeth.
