² How long will you torture me
    with your words?
³ Isn't ten times enough
for you to accuse me?
    Aren't you ashamed?
⁴ Even if I have sinned,
    you haven't been harmed.
⁵ You boast of your goodness,
claiming I am suffering
    because I am guilty.
⁶ But God is the one at fault
    for finding fault with me.

⁷ Though I pray to be rescued
    from this torment,
no whisper of justice
    answers me.
⁸ God has me trapped
with a wall of darkness
⁹     and stripped of respect.
¹⁰ God rips me apart,
    uproots my hopes,
¹¹ and attacks with fierce anger,
    as though I were his enemy.
¹² His entire army advances,
    then surrounds my tent.

¹³ God has turned relatives
and friends against me,
¹⁴     and I am forgotten.
¹⁵ My guests and my servants
    consider me a stranger,
¹⁶ and when I call my servants,
    they pay no attention.
¹⁷ My breath disgusts my wife;
everyone in my family
    turns away.
¹⁸ Young children can't stand me,
and when I come near,
    they make fun.
¹⁹ My best friends and loved ones
    have turned from me.
²⁰ I am skin and bones—
    just barely alive.
²¹ My friends, I beg you for pity!
    God has made me his target.
²² Hasn't he already done enough?
    Why do you join the attack?

²³ I wish that my words
could be written down
²⁴     or chiseled into rock.
²⁵ I know that my Savior^[a] lives,
and at the end
    he will stand on this earth.
²⁶ My flesh may be destroyed,
yet from this body
    I will see God.^[b]
27 Yes, I will see him for myself,
    and I long for that moment.

²⁸ My friends, you think up ways
to blame and torment me,
saying
    I brought it on myself.
²⁹ But watch out for the judgment,
    when God will punish you!
