Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
8 For my body is full of burning; all my flesh is unhealthy.
9 I am feeble and crushed down; I gave a cry like a lion because of the grief in my heart.
10 Lord, all my desire is before you; my sorrow is not kept secret from you.
11 My heart goes out in pain, my strength is wasting away; as for the light of my eyes, it is gone from me.
12 My lovers and my friends keep away from my disease; my relations keep far away.
13 Those who have a desire to take my life put nets for me; those who are designing my destruction say evil things against me, all the day their minds are full of deceit.
14 But I kept my ears shut like a man without hearing; like a man without a voice, never opening his mouth.
