19:102:002 Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.
19:102:003 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.
19:102:004 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
19:102:005 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
19:102:006 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.
19:102:007 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
19:102:008 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.
19:102:009 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.
19:102:010 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
19:102:011 My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
