The Prophet’s Anguish and Hope
1 I
am the man
who has seen affliction by the rod of His wrath.
2 He has led me and made
me walk
In darkness and not
in light.
3 Surely He has turned His hand against me
Time and time again throughout the day.
4 He has aged
amy flesh and my skin,
And
bbroken my bones.
5 He has besieged me
And surrounded
me with bitterness and
1 woe.
6 aHe has set me in dark places
Like the dead of long ago.
7 aHe has hedged me in so that I cannot get out;
He has made my chain heavy.
