2. "How long will you people make me suffer? How long will you crush me with your words?
3. You have already made fun of me many times. You have attacked me without feeling any shame.
4. Suppose it's true that I've gone down the wrong path. Then it's my concern, not yours.
5. Suppose you want to place yourselves above me. Suppose you want to use my shame to prove I'm wrong.
6. Then I want you to know that God hasn't treated me right. In fact, he has captured me in his net.
7. "I cry out, 'Someone harmed me!' But I don't get any reply. I call out for help. But I'm not treated fairly.
8. God has blocked my way, and I can't get through. He has made my paths so dark I can't see where I'm going.
9. He has taken my wealth away from me. He has stripped me of my honor.
10. He tears me down on every side until I'm gone. He pulls up the roots of my hope as if I were a tree.
