2How long will you grieve my spirit, And crush me with words?

בעַד־אָ֭נָה תּוֹגְי֣וּן נַפְשִׁ֑י וּֽתְדַכּאוּנַ֥נִי בְמִלִּֽים׃

3Time and again you humiliate me, And are not ashamed to abuse me.

4If indeed I have erred, My error remains with me.

5Though you are overbearing toward me, Reproaching me with my disgrace,

האִם־אׇ֭מְנָם עָלַ֣י תַּגְדִּ֑ילוּ וְתוֹכִ֥יחוּ עָ֝לַ֗י חֶרְפָּתִֽי׃

6Yet know that Hashem has wronged me; He has thrown up siege works around me.

7I cry, “Violence!” but am not answered; I shout, but can get no justice.

8He has barred my way; I cannot pass; He has laid darkness upon my path.

9He has stripped me of my glory, Removed the crown from my head.

10He tears down every part of me; I perish; He uproots my hope like a tree.

11He kindles His anger against me; He regards me as one of His foes.

13He alienated my kin from me; My acquaintances disown me.

15My dependents and maidservants regard me as a stranger; I am an outsider to them.

16I summon my servant but he does not respond; I must myself entreat him.

18Even youngsters disdain me; When I rise, they speak against me.

20My bones stick to my skin and flesh; I escape with the skin of my teeth.

21Pity me, pity me! You are my friends; For the hand of Hashem has struck me!

22Why do you pursue me like Hashem, Maligning me insatiably?

26This, after my skin will have been peeled off. But I would behold Hashem while still in my flesh,
