14. They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.
15. Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my honor as the wind: and my welfare passes away as a cloud.
16. And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
17. My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.
18. By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it binds me about as the collar of my coat.
19. He has cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.
20. I cry unto you, and you do not hear me: I stand up, and you regard me not.
21. You have become cruel to me: with your strong hand you oppose yourself against me.
22. You lift me up to the wind; you cause me to ride upon it, and spoil my substance.
23. For I know that you will bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.
