16:9 His 1 anger has torn me 2 and persecuted 3 me;
he has gnashed at me with his teeth;
my adversary locks 4 his eyes on me.
16:10 People 5 have opened their mouths against me,
they have struck my cheek in scorn; 6
they unite 7 together against me.
16:11 God abandons me to evil 8 men, 9
and throws 10 me into the hands of wicked men.
16:12 I was in peace, and he has shattered me. 11
He has seized me by the neck and crushed me. 12
He has made me his target;
16:13 his archers 13 surround me.
Without pity 14 he pierces 15 my kidneys
and pours out my gall 16 on the ground.
16:14 He breaks through against me, time and time again; 17
he rushes 18 against me like a warrior.
