11. He has forced me off the road I was taking, torn me to pieces,and left me with nothing.
12. He has drawn his bow and made me the target for his arrows.
13. He has shot the arrows from his quiver into my heart.
14. I have become a laughingstock to all my people.All day long ⌊they make fun of me⌋ with their songs.
15. He has filled me with bitterness.He has made me drink wormwood.
16. He has ground my teeth with gravel.He has trampled me into the dust.
17. “My soul has been kept from enjoying peace.I have forgotten what happiness is.
18. I said, ‘I’ve lost my strength ⌊to live⌋ and my hope in the Lord.’
19. Remember my suffering and my ⌊aimless⌋ wandering,the wormwood and poison.
20. My soul continues to remember ⌊these things⌋ and is so discouraged.
