10. For I chewed on ashes like bread, and I mixed weeping into my drink.
11. By the face of your anger and indignation, you lifted me up and threw me down.
12. My days have declined like a shadow, and I have dried out like hay.
13. But you, O Lord, endure for eternity, and your memorial is from generation to generation.
14. You will rise up and take pity on Zion, for it is time for its mercy, for the time has come.
15. For its stones have pleased your servants, and they will take pity on its land.
16. And the Gentiles will fear your name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth your glory.
