1: But nowH6258 they mockH7832 at meH5921 [men] youngerH6810 than IH4480 -H3117 whoseH0834 I disdainedH3988 Whose fathersH0001 to putH7896 withH5973 the dogsH3611 of my flock.H6629

2: Indeed,H1571 the strengthH3581 of their handsH3027 for what [profit is]H4100 theirH5921 has perishedH0006 vigor?H3624

3: from wantH2639 and famineH3720 [They are] emaciated-H1565 FleeingH6207 to the wildernessH6723 lateH0570 desolateH7722 and waste.H4875

4: Who pluckH6998 mallowH4408 byH5921 the bushes,H7880 and roots [for]H8328 broom treeH7574 their food.H3899

5: FromH4480 among [men]H1460 they were driven outH1644 they shoutedH7321 at themH5921 as [at] a thief.H1590

6: In the cleftsH6178 of the valleys,H5158 [They had] to liveH7931 [In] cavesH2356 of the earth,H6083 and the rocks.H3710

7: AmongH0996 the bushesH7880 they brayed-H5101 UnderH8478 the nettlesH2738 they nestled.H5596

8: [They were] sonsH1121 of fools,H5036 Yes,H1571 sonsH1121 ofH1097 vile men,H8034 they were scourgedH5217 fromH4480 the land.H0776

9: NowH6258 their taunting song,H5058 I amH1961 and Yes I amH1961 theirH1992 byword.H4405

10: They abhor meH8581 they keep farH7368 from meH4480 and in my face.H6440 NotH3808 they do hesitateH2820 to spit.H7536

11: BecauseH3588 my bowstring,H3499 He has loosedH6605 and afflicted meH6031 and restraintH7448 before meH6440 they have cast off.H7971

12: AtH5921 [my] right [hand]H3225 the rabble-H6526 arisesH6965 my feet,H7272 they push awayH7971 and they raiseH5549 against meH5921 waysH0734 of their destruction.H0343

13: They break upH5420 my path,H5410 my calamity,H1942 they promoteH3276 noH3808 have helperH5826

14: As breakersH6556 broadH7342 they comeH0857 UnderH8478 the ruinous stormH7722 they roll along.H1556

15: Are turnedH2015 upon meH5921 TerrorsH1091 they pursueH7291 as the wind,H7307 my honorH5082 and like a cloudH5645 has passedH5674 my prosperity.H3444

16: NowH6258 because of my [plight]H5921 is poured outH8210 my soulH5315 take hold of meH0270 the daysH3117 of affliction.H6040

17: At night-H3915 My bonesH6106 are piercedH5365 in meH5921 and my gnawing painsH6207 noH3808 take rest.H7901

18: By greatH7227 forceH3581 is disfigured-H2664 my garmentH3830 as the collarH6310 of my coatH3801 it binds me about.H0247

19: He has cast meH3384 into the mire,H2563 and I have becomeH4911 like dustH6083 and ashes.H0665

20: I cry outH7768 to YouH0413 but notH3808 You do answer meH6030 I stand up,H5975 and You regardH0995

21: [But] You have becomeH2015 cruelH0393 with the strengthH6108 of Your handH3027 You oppose me.H7852

22: You lift me upH5375 toH0413 the wind-H7307 and cause me to ride [on it]H7392 and You spoilH4127 my success.H7738

23: ForH3588 I knowH3045 [to] death,H4194 [that] You will bring meH7725 and [to] the houseH1004 appointedH4150 for allH3605 living.H2416

24: SurelyH0389 notH3808 against a heap of ruins,H1164 He would stretch outH7971 [His] handH3027 ifH0518 when He destroys [it]H6365 theyH3861 cry out.H7769

25: LoH0518 notH3808 have I weptH1058 forH7186 him who was in trouble?H3117 Has [not] grievedH5701 my soulH5315 for the poor?H0034

26: but whenH3588 good,H2896 I looked forH6960 and came [to me]H0935 evilH7451 and when I waitedH3176 for light,H0216 then cameH0935 darkness.H0652

27: My heartH4578 is in turmoil,H7570 and cannot-H3808 restH1826 confront meH6923 DaysH3117 of affliction.H6040

28: MourningH6937 I go aboutH1980 but notH3808 in the sun-H2535 I stand up,H6965 in the assemblyH6951 [and] cry out for help.H7768

29: A brotherH0251 I amH1961 of jackals,H8577 and a companionH7453 ofH1323 ostriches.H3284

30: My skinH5785 grows blackH7835 and falls from meH5921 and My bonesH6106 burnH2787 withH4480 fever.H2721

31: And is [turned]H1961 to mourning,H0060 My harpH3658 and my fluteH5748 to the voiceH6963 of those who weep.H1058
