17. Night pierces my bones,but my gnawing pains never rest.
18. My clothing is distorted with great force;He chokes me by the neck of my garment.
19. He throws me into the mud,and I have become like dust and ashes.
20. I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer me; when I stand up, You merely look at me.
21. You have turned against me with cruelty;You harass me with Your strong hand.
