16 Now my life is poured out before me,
and days of suffering(A) have seized me.
17 Night pierces my bones,
but my gnawing pains never rest.(B)
18 My clothing is distorted with great force;
he chokes me by the neck of my garment.[a]
19 He throws me into the mud,
and I have become like dust and ashes.(C)
