12. Like a shepherd’s tent,my home has been pulled down and taken from me.I am finishedlike the cloth a 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 birdand 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, people live.Because of you, my spirit also lives;you made me well and let me live.
17. It was for my own goodthat I had such troubles.Because you love me very much,you did not let me diebut threw my sinsfar away.
