Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
    • B 15a They take up all of them with the angle,
      • C 15b they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag:
        • D 15c therefore they rejoice and are glad.
      • C' 16a Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag;
    • B' 16b because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.
  • A' 17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
