⁷ Surely now God has worn me out;
    ^(A)he has^[a] made desolate all my company.
⁸ And he has shriveled me up,
    which is ^(B)a witness against me,
and my ^(C)leanness has risen up against me;
    it testifies to my face.
⁹ He has ^(D)torn me in his wrath ^(E)and hated me;
    he has ^(F)gnashed his teeth at me;
    my adversary sharpens his eyes against me.
¹⁰ Men have ^(G)gaped at me with their mouth;
    they have ^(H)struck me insolently on the cheek;
    they ^(I)mass themselves together against me.
¹¹ God gives me up to the ungodly
    and casts me into the hands of the wicked.
¹² I was at ease, and he broke me apart;
    he seized me by the neck and dashed me to pieces;
he set me up as his ^(J)target;
¹³     his ^(K)archers surround me.
He slashes open my kidneys ^(L)and does not spare;
    he ^(M)pours out my gall on the ground.
¹⁴ He breaks me with ^(N)breach upon breach;
    he ^(O)runs upon me like a warrior.
