2
How long do you afflict my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
3
Behold, these ten times you confound me, and are not ashamed to oppress me.
4
For if I have been ignorant, my ignorance shall be with me.
5
But you set yourselves up against me, and reprove me with my reproaches.
6
At least now understand, that God hath not afflicted me with an equal judgment, and compassed me with his scourges.
7
Behold I shall cry suffering violence, and no one will hear: I shall cry aloud, and there is none to judge.
8
He hath hedged in my path round about, and I cannot pass, and in my way he hath set darkness.
9
He hath stripped me of my glory, and hath taken the crown from my head.
10
He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am lost, and he hath taken away my hope, as from a tree that is plucked up.
11
His wrath is kindled against me, and he hath counted me as his enemy.
12
His troops have come together, and have made themselves a way by me, and have besieged my tabernacle round about.
