2 “As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice,

the Almighty, who has made my life bitter,

2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment;

And the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;

2 “I vow by the living God, who has taken away my rights,

by the Almighty who has embittered my soul—

2 “As God lives, who has taken away my justice,

And the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,

2 “As surely as God lives, who has taken away my rights,

the Almighty, who has made me unhappy,

2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my right,

And the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul:

2 As •God liveth, who hath taken away my right, and the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul,

2 “I swear an oath 

by God, the one who has taken away my rights, 

by the Almighty, who has made my life bitter: 

2 As God lives, who has deprived me of justice,

and the Almighty who has made me bitter,

2 “As God lives, who has taken away my right,

and the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,

2 “As God lives, he has removed my justice,

and Shaddai has made my inner self bitter.

2 “God hasn’t treated me fairly.

The Mighty One has made my spirit bitter.

You can be sure that God lives.

And here’s something else you can be sure of.

2 “As God lives, who has taken away my right,

And the Almighty, who has embittered my soul,
