² "How long^[b] will you^[c] torment me^[d]
and crush me with words?
³ These ten times you^[e] have disgraced me;
you^[f] are not ashamed that you^[g] have attacked^[h] me.
⁴ And what is more, if I have truly erred,
my error remains with me.
⁵ If indeed you^[i] must magnify yourselves against me,
and you^[j] must let my disgrace argue against me,
⁶ know then that God has wronged me
and has surrounded me with his net.
⁷ "Look, I cry out, ‘Violence!' but^[k] I am not answered;
I cry out, but^[l] there is no justice.
⁸ He has walled up my way so that^[m] I cannot pass;
and he has set darkness upon my paths.
⁹ He has taken my glory from me,
and he has removed the crown of^[n] my head.
¹⁰ He has broken me down all around, and I am gone.
And he has uprooted my hope like a tree,
¹¹ and he has kindled his wrath against me,
and he has counted me as one of his foes.^[o]
12 His troops have come together
and have thrown up their rampart^[p] against me
and have encamped around my tent.
¹³ "He has removed my kinsfolk from me,
and my acquaintances have only^[q] turned aside from me.
¹⁴ My relatives have failed,
and my close friends have forgotten me.
¹⁵ The sojourners in^[r] my house and my slave women count me as a stranger;
I have become a foreigner in their eyes.
¹⁶ I call to my servant, but^[s] he does not answer;
I must personally^[t] plead with him.
¹⁷ My breath is repulsive to my wife,
and I am loathsome to my own family.^[u]
18 Little boys also despise me;
when I rise, then^[v] they talk against me.
¹⁹ All my intimate friends^[w] abhor me,
and these whom I have loved have turned against me.
²⁰ My bones^[x] cling to my skin and to my flesh,
and I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
²¹ "Pity me, pity me, you my friends,
for God's hand has touched me.
²² Why do you^[y] pursue me like God?
And are not satisfied with my flesh?
²³ "O that^[z] my words could be written down!
O that they could be inscribed in a scroll!^[aa]
24 That with a pen of iron and with lead
they might be engraved on a rock forever!
²⁵ But^[ab] I myself^[ac] know that my redeemer is alive,
and at the last he will stand up upon the earth.^[ad]
26 And after my skin has been thus destroyed,
but^[ae] from^[af] my flesh I will see God,
²⁷ whom I will see for myself,^[ag]
and whom my eyes will see and not a stranger.^[ah]
My heart faints within me.^[ai]
28 "If you^[aj] say, ‘How will we persecute him?'
And ‘The root of the trouble is found' in me,^[ak]
29 be afraid for yourselves because of the sword,^[al]
for wrath brings punishment by^[am] the sword,
so that you may know that there is judgment."
