One is greatly constrained and cannot escape. This is a risky position to be in. If you behave properly and remain faithful, you will survive, no matter how tough things become. You are like a prisoner bound and shackled. But you are only the victim of your own misdeeds, friend. You have lost the way and are trapped in a thicket of troubles -- seemingly without hope of escape. After a while, however, you will find the way again.
