    and am reduced to skin and bones.
I am like a desert owl,(D)

I lie awake;(E) I have become
    like a bird alone(F) on a roof.
All day long my enemies(G) taunt me;(H)
    those who rail against me use my name as a curse.(I)

    and mingle my drink with tears(K)

My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.
