5. In my distress I groan aloud and am reduced to skin and bones.
6. I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.
7. I lie awake; I have become like a bird alone on a roof.
8. All day long my enemies taunt me; those who rail against me use my name as a curse.
9. For I eat ashes as my food and mingle my drink with tears
10. because of your great wrath, for you have taken me up and thrown me aside.
11. My days are like the evening shadow; I wither away like grass.
