4 My heart is blighted and withered like grass;I forget to eat my food.
5 In my distress I groan aloudand am reduced to skin and bones.
6 I am like a desert owl,like an owl among the ruins.
7 I lie awake; I have becomelike a bird alone on a roof.
8 All day long my enemies taunt me;those who rail against me use my name as a curse.
9 For I eat ashes as my foodand mingle my drink with tears
10 because of your great wrath,for you have taken me up and thrown me aside.
