5. But I would strengthen you with my mouth and the moving of my lips should assuage your grief.
6. Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?
7. But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
8. And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
9. He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; my enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
10. They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves against me.
11. God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
12. I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
13. His archers encompass me; he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
14. He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.
