⁶ If I speak, my suffering is not relieved,
and if I hold back, does any of it leave me?⁷ Surely he^(F1) has now exhausted me.
You have devastated my entire family.⁸ You have shriveled me up^(F1)—it has become a witness;
my frailty rises up against me and testifies to my face.⁹ His anger tears at me, and he harasses^(C1) me.
He gnashes his teeth at me.
My enemy pierces me with his eyes.¹⁰ They open their mouths against me
and strike my cheeks with contempt;^(C1)
they join themselves together against me.¹¹ God hands me over to the unjust;^(F1)
he throws me to the wicked.¹² I was at ease, but he shattered me;
he seized me by the scruff of the neck
and smashed me to pieces.
He set me up as his target;^(C1)13 his archers^(F1) surround me.
He pierces my kidneys without mercy
and pours my bile on the ground.¹⁴ He breaks through my defenses again and again;^(F1)
he charges at me like a warrior.^(C1)

¹⁵ I have sewn sackcloth over my skin;
I have buried my strength^(F1) in the dust.^(C1)16 My face has grown red with weeping,
and darkness^(C1) covers my eyes,¹⁷ although my hands are free from violence^(C1)
and my prayer is pure.

¹⁸ Earth, do not cover my blood;
may my cry for help find no resting place.^(C1)19 Even now my witness is in heaven,
and my advocate is in the heights!^(C1)20 My friends scoff at me
as I weep before God.²¹ I wish that someone might argue for a man with God^(C1)
just as anyone^(F1) would for a friend.²² For only a few years will pass
before I go the way of no return.
