Thou sleepest a deep sleep, for thou art weary.

A thief takes thy bow and thy sword from thy side; thy quiver and thy armour are broken to pieces in the darkness; thy pair of horses run away.

The groom takes his course over a slippery path that rises in front of him.

He breaks thy chariot in pieces; he follows thy foot-tracks.

[He finds] thy equipments, which had fallen on the ground, and had sunk into the sand, leaving only an empty space.
Prayer does not avail thee; even when thy mouth says: "Give food in addition to water that I may reach my goal in safety," they are deaf and will not hear.
