- But you have set yourselves up against me, and reprove me with my reproaches.
- At least now understand, that God hath not afflicted me with an equal judgment, and compassed me with his scourges.
- Behold I cry suffering violence, and no one will hear: I shall cry aloud, and there is none to judge.
- He hath hedged in my path round about, and I cannot pass, and in my way he hath set darkness.
- He hath stripped me of my glory, and hath taken the crown from my head.

- His wrath is kindled against me, and he hath counted me as his enemy.
- His troops have come together, and have made themselves a way by me, and have besieged my tabernacle round about.
- He hath put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintance like strangers have departed from me.
- My kinsmen have forsaken me, and they that knew me, have forgotten me.
- They that dwelt in my house, and my maidservants have counted me a stranger, and I have been like an alien in their eyes.
- I called my servant, and he gave me no answer, I entreated him with my own mouth.
- My wife hath abhorred my breath, and I entreated the children of my womb.
- Even fools despise me; and when I gone from them, they spoke against me.
- They that were sometime my counsellors, have abhorred me: and he whom I love most is turned against me.
- The flesh being consumed. My bone hath cleaved to my skin, and nothing but lips are left about my teeth.
