1. I am a man who has seen much trouble. God beat us with a stick, and I saw it happen.
2. He led and brought me into darkness, not light.
3. He turned his hand against me. He did this again and again, all day.
4. He wore out my flesh and skin. He broke my bones.
5. He built up bitterness and trouble against me. He surrounded me with bitterness and trouble.
6. He put me in the dark, like someone who died long ago.
7. He shut me in, so I could not get out. He put heavy chains on me.
8. Even when I cry out and ask for help, he does not listen to my prayer.
9. He has blocked up my path with stones. He has made my path crooked.
10. He is like a bear about to attack me, like a lion that is in a hiding place.
11. He led me off my path. He tore me to pieces and ruined me.
12. He made his bow ready. He made me the target for his arrows.
13. He shot me in the stomach with his arrows.
