¹² I have been ^(A)forgotten like one who is dead;
    I have become like ^(B)a broken vessel.

¹⁴ and its breaking is ^(A)like that of a potter's vessel
    that is smashed so ruthlessly
that among its fragments not a shard is found
    with which to take fire from the hearth,
    or to dip up water out of the cistern.”

⁸³ For I have ^(A)become like a ^(B)wineskin in the smoke,
    yet I have not forgotten your statutes.

⁴ I am counted among those who ^(A)go down to the pit;
    I am a man who has no strength,
⁵ like one set loose among the dead,
    like the slain that lie in the grave,
like those whom ^(B)you remember no more,
    for they are ^(C)cut off from your hand.

⁹ You shall ^(A)break^[a] them with ^(B)a rod of iron
    and dash them in pieces like ^(C)a potter's vessel.”

¹¹ I said, I shall not see the Lord,
    the Lord ^(A)in the land of the living;
I shall look on man no more
    among the inhabitants of the world.
¹² My dwelling is plucked up and removed from me
    ^(B)like a shepherd's tent;
^(C)like a weaver ^(D)I have rolled up my life;
    ^(E)he cuts me off from the loom;
^(F)from day to night you bring me to an end;
