    Why have you made me your target?
    Why have I become a burden to you?^(A)

    my spirit drinks their poison;
    the terrors of God are arrayed against me.^(A)

¹² I was at ease, and he broke me in two;
    he seized me by the neck and dashed me to pieces;
he set me up as his target;^(A)

He slashes open my kidneys and shows no mercy;
    he pours out my gall on the ground.^(B)
