11. I said, “I will not see the Lordin the land of the living again.I will not again see the peoplewho live on the earth.
12. Like a shepherd’s tent,my home has been pulled down and taken from me.I am finished like the clotha weaver rolls up and cuts from the loom.In one day you brought me to this end.
13. All night I cried loudly.Like a lion, he crushed all my bones.In one day you brought me to this end.
14. I cried like a bird.I moaned like a dove.My eyes became tired as I looked to the heavens.Lord, I have troubles. Please help me.”
15. What can I say?The Lord told me what would happen and then made it happen.I have had these troubles in my soul.So now I will be humble all my life.
16. Lord, because of you, men live.Because of you, my spirit also lives.You made me well and let me live.
