"I have sewn sackcloth over my skin, and I have covered my body with ashes. "
— Job 16:16, Catholic Public Domain Version
“My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;”
“My face is red with weeping, And on my eyelids is the shadow of death; ”
“My face is red with weeping. Deep darkness is on my eyelids.”
“my face is reddened because of weeping, and on my eyelids there is a deep darkness,”
“I have sowed sackcloth upon my skin, and have covered my flesh with ashes.”
“My face is red with weeping, and my eyes are becoming dark;”
“My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;”
I, who once was wealthy, am now crushed. He has grabbed me by my neck; he has broken me and has placed me before him as a sign.
He has surrounded me with his lances. He has severely wounded my lower back, he has not been lenient, and he has poured out my organs upon the earth.
He has cut me with wound after wound. He has rushed upon me like a giant.
I have sewn sackcloth over my skin, and I have covered my body with ashes.
My face is swollen from weeping, and my eyelids have dimmed my vision.
These things I have endured without iniquity in my hand, while I held pure prayers before God.
O earth, do not conceal my blood, nor let my outcry find a hiding place in you.
