- 2. Howe long will yee vexe my soule, and torment me with wordes?
- 3. Ye haue now ten times reproched me, and are not ashamed: ye are impudent toward mee.
- 4. And though I had in deede erred, mine errour remaineth with me.
- 5. But in deede if ye will aduance your selues against me, and rebuke me for my reproche,
- 6. Know nowe, that God hath ouerthrowen me, and hath compassed me with his net.
- 7. Beholde, I crie out of violence, but I haue none answere: I crie, but there is no iudgement.

- 10. He hath destroyed mee on euery side and I am gone: and he hath remoued mine hope like a tree.
- 11. And he hath kindled his wrath against me, and counteth mee as one of his enemies.

- 13. He hath remooued my brethre farre from me, and also mine acquaintance were strangers vnto me.
- 14. My neighbours haue forsaken me, and my familiars haue forgotten me.

- 21. Haue pitie vpon me: haue pitie vpon me, (O yee my friendes) for the hande of God hath touched me.
- 22. Why do ye persecute me, as God? & are not satisfied with my flesh?
- 23. Oh that my wordes were nowe written! oh that they were written euen in a booke,
- 24. And grauen with an yron pen in lead, or in stone for euer!
