15. He has filled me with bitternessand given me a bitter cup of sorrow to drink.
16. He has made me chew on gravel.He has rolled me in the dust.
17. Peace has been stripped away,and I have forgotten what prosperity is.
18. I cry out, “My splendor is gone!Everything I had hoped for from the lord is lost!”
19. The thought of my suffering and homelessnessis bitter beyond words.
20. I will never forget this awful time,as I grieve over my loss.
