“But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.”

“But now, God, you have surely worn me out. You have made desolate all my company.”
“But what shall I do? If I speak, my pain will not rest: and if I hold my peace, it will not depart from me.”
“But now he has overcome me with weariness and fear, and I am in the grip of all my trouble.”
“But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.”
I also could speak like you, if you were in my place; I could pile up words against you and I could shake my head at you.
But I would strengthen you with my words; comfort from my lips would bring you relief.
Abandonment by God and Man“But if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I refrain from speaking– how much of it goes away?
Surely now he has worn me out, you have devastated my entire household.
You have seized me, and it has become a witness; my leanness has risen up against me and testifies against me.
His anger has torn me and persecuted me; he has gnashed at me with his teeth; my adversary locks his eyes on me.
People have opened their mouths against me, they have struck my cheek in scorn; they unite together against me.
