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.
