16 Now my life is poured out before me,

and days of sufferingb have seized me.

17 Night pierces my bones,

but my gnawing pains never rest.c

18 My clothing is distorted with great force;

he chokes me by the neck of my garment.A

19 He throws me into the mud,

and I have become like dust and ashes.d

20 I cry out to you for help, but you do not answer me;e

when I stand up, you merely look at me.
