God, you have surely taken away my strength and destroyed my whole family.
“I hate my life, so I will complain without holding back; I will speak because I am so unhappy.
The one who speaks for me is my friend. My eyes pour out tears to God.
“God has made my brothers my enemies, and my friends have become strangers.
In the grave the wicked stop making trouble, and the weary workers are at rest.
I have no power to help myself, because success has been taken away from me.
I hate my life; I don’t want to live forever. Leave me alone, because my days have no meaning.
But I am given months that are empty, and nights of misery have been given to me.
The Lord God gave me the ability to teach so that I know what to say to make the weak strong. Every morning he wakes me. He teaches me to listen like a student.
As for me, I will make you sick. I will attack you, ruining you because of your sins.
