Surely he has now exhausted me. You have devastated my entire family.
So I have been made to inherit months of futility, and troubled nights have been assigned to me.
‘As a result, I have begun to strike you severely, , bringing desolation because of your sins.
The Lord God has given me the tongue of those who are instructed to know how to sustain the weary with a word. He awakens me each morning; he awakens my ear to listen like those being instructed.
I am disgusted with my life. I will give vent to my complaint and speak in the bitterness of my soul.
I give up! I will not live for ever. Leave me alone, for my days are a breath.
There the wicked cease to make trouble, and there the weary find rest.
My friends scoff at me as I weep before God.
He has removed my brothers from me; my acquaintances have abandoned me.
Since I cannot help myself, the hope for success has been banished from me.
