3 My life is passing away like smoke,and my bones are burned up with fire.
4 My heart is like grassthat has been cut and dried.I forget to eat.
5 Because of my grief,my skin hangs on my bones.
6 I am like a desert owl,like an owl living among the ruins.
7 I lie awake.I am like a lonely bird on a housetop.
8 All day long enemies insult me;those who make fun of me use my name as a curse.
9 I eat ashes for food,and my tears fall into my drinks.
