They set forward my calamity,
Even men that have no helper.

Days of affliction have taken hold upon me.

In the night season my bones are pierced in me,
And the pains that gnaw me take no rest.

And to the house appointed for all living.

I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help.

My skin is black, and falleth from me,
And my bones are burned with heat.

Therefore is my harp turned to mourning,
And my pipe into the voice of them that weep.
