2
How long will ye vex my soul, And break me in pieces with words?
3
These ten times have ye reproached me: Ye are not ashamed that ye deal hardly with me.
4
And be it indeed that I have erred, Mine error remaineth with myself.
5
If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, And plead against me my reproach;
6
Know now that God hath subverted me [in my cause], And hath compassed me with his net.
7
Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry for help, but there is no justice.
8
He hath walled up my way that I cannot pass, And hath set darkness in my paths.
9
He hath stripped me of my glory, And taken the crown from my head.
10
He hath broken me down on every side, and I am gone; And my hope hath he plucked up like a tree.
11
He hath also kindled his wrath against me, And he counteth me unto him as [one of] his adversaries.
12
His troops come on together, And cast up their way against me, And encamp round about my tent.
