15. The Lord has made my life bitter. He has made me suffer bitterly.
16. He made me chew stones that broke my teeth. He has walked all over me in the dust.
17. I have lost all hope of ever having any peace. I've forgotten what good times are like.
18. So I say, "My glory has faded away. My hope in the Lord is gone."
19. I remember how I suffered and wandered. I remember how bitter my life was.
20. I remember it very well. My spirit is very sad deep down inside me.
