14. They come at me as if through a hole in the wall,and they roll in among the ruins.
15. Great fears overwhelm me.They blow my honor away as if by a great wind,and my safety disappears like a cloud.
16. “Now my life is almost over;my days are full of suffering.
17. At night my bones ache;gnawing pains never stop.
18. In his great power God grabs hold of my clothingand chokes me with the collar of my coat.
19. He throws me into the mud,and I become like dirt and ashes.
20. “I cry out to you, God, but you do not answer;I stand up, but you just look at me.
21. You have turned on me without mercy;with your powerful hand you attacked me.
22. You snatched me up and threw me into the windand tossed me about in the storm.
23. I know you will bring me down to death,to the place where all living people must go.
