“Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness. ”
“Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, And mine acquaintance into darkness. ”
“You have put lover and friend far from me, and my friends into darkness. A contemplation by Ethan, the Ezrahite.”
“For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy good pleasure shall our horn be exalted.”
“You have sent my friends and lovers far from me; I am gone from the memory of those who are dear to me.”
“Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness. ”
I am oppressed and have been on the verge of death since my youth. I have been subjected to your horrors and am numb with pain.
Your anger overwhelms me; your terrors destroy me.
They surround me like water all day long; they join forces and encircle me.
You cause my friends and neighbors to keep their distance; those who know me leave me alone in the darkness.
