8I have been afflicted and brought down exceedingly: I have roared for the groaning of my heart.
9But all my desire is before you; and my groaning is not hidden from you.
10My heart is troubled, my strength has failed me; and the light of my eyes is not with me.
11My friends and my neighbours drew near before me, and stood still; and my nearest of kin stood afar off.
12While they pressed hard upon me that sought my soul: and they that sought my hurt spoke vanities, and devised deceits all the day.
