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)

Accusation against God

16 Now my life is poured out on me;
    days of misery have seized me.
17 At night he bores my bones;
    my gnawing pain won’t rest.
18 With great force he grasps[a] my clothing;[b]
    it binds me like the neck of my shirt.
19 He hurls me into mud;
    I’m a cliché, like dust and ashes.
