³     I have a mind as good as yours.
        Don’t think I am so far beneath you!
    After all, who doesn’t know all about these things?
        Who isn’t acquainted with the pedestrian platitudes you’ve trotted out?
⁴     As for me—the one who called upon God and whom God answered—
        now, I am pitiful, laughable, a just and upright joke.
⁵     Those who have it easy may easily scorn the unfortunate;
        they have their contempt already prepared for those whose feet slip.
