11. He has turned aside my ways and torn me in pieces;He has made me desolate.
12. He has bent His bowAnd set me up as a target for the arrow.
13. He has caused the arrows of His quiverTo pierce my loins.
14. I have become the ridicule of all my people—Their taunting song all the day.
15. He has filled me with bitterness,He has made me drink wormwood.
16. He has also broken my teeth with gravel,And covered me with ashes.
17. You have moved my soul far from peace;I have forgotten prosperity.
18. And I said, “My strength and my hopeHave perished from the Lord.”
19. Remember my affliction and roaming,The wormwood and the gall.
20. My soul still remembersAnd sinks within me.
21. This I recall to my mind,Therefore I have hope.
