Job 3:24

Sighing comes to me instead of food. My groans pour out like water.

I am numb and completely devastated. I roar because my heart is filling with anguish.

You made them eat tears as food. You often made them drink their own tears.

For I have eaten ashes like bread and mingled my drink with weeping.

I refuse to touch it! This repugnant food makes me ill.

How long will you keep looking at me and let me alone till I swallow my spittle?

His very being finds food repulsive and he loathes the choicest meal.

([Psalm of David]) My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far away from my deliverance, so far away from the words of my moaning?

When I kept silent about my sins, my body wasted away and I groaned all day long.

My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all day long: Where is your God?

We all growl like bears. We coo like doves. We hope for justice, but there is none. We hope for salvation, but it is far from us.

Even when I send up a cry for help, he shuts out my prayer.

For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
