1 Aleph I am a man that sees affliction in the rod of his wrath.
2 Aleph He has led me and brought me into darkness, but not into light.
3 Aleph Surely he is turned against me; he turns his hand against me all the day.
4 Beth My flesh and my skin he has made old; he has broken my bones.
5 Beth He has built against me and compassed me with gall and travail.
