23 I know you are taking me off to my death,to the fate in store for everyone.
24 Why do you attack a ruined man,one who can do nothing but beg for pity?
25 Didn't I weep with people in troubleand feel sorry for those in need?
26 I hoped for happiness and light,but trouble and darkness came instead.
27 I am torn apart by worry and pain;I have had day after day of suffering.
28 I go about in gloom, without any sunshine;I stand up in public and plead for help.
29 My voice is as sad and lonelyas the cries of a jackal or an ostrich.
