Why is light given to one who is in misery, and life to the bitter in soul,

For You write bitter things against me, and make me to possess the sins of my youth.

He shall not see the rivers, the flowings of the brooks of honey and butter,

And another dies with bitter soul, and never eats with pleasure.

Even today is my complaint bitter; my stroke is heavier than my groaning.

As God lives, He has taken away my judgment; and the Almighty has made my soul bitter.
