He hath worn out my flesh and my skin, hath broken my bones; He hath built up against me, and carried round me, fortifications and a trench; In dark places, hath he made me sit, like the dead of age-past times. He hath walled up around me, that I cannot get out, hath weighted my fetter; Yea, when I make outcry and implore, he hath shut out my prayer; He hath walled in my ways with hewn stone, my paths, hath he caused to wind back. A bear lying in wait, he is to me, a lion, in secret places; My ways, hath he turned aside, and hath torn me in pieces, hath made me desolate; He hath trodden his bow, and set me up, as a mark for the arrow. He hath caused to enter my reins, the sons of his quiver; I have become a derision to all my people, their song all the day; He hath sated me with bitter things, hath drenched me with wormwood. And he hath crushed, with gravel-stones, my teeth, hath made me cower in ashes; And thou hast thrust away from welfare, my soul, I have forgotten prosperity; And I said, Vanished is mine endurance, even mine expectation, from Yahweh. Remember my humiliation and my fleeings, the wormwood and poison; Thou wilt, indeed remember, that, bowed down concerning myself, is my soul;

And the people of Nineveh believed in God, - and proclaimed a fast, and clothed themselves in sackcloth, from the greatest of them, even unto the least of them. And the word reached unto the king of Nineveh, so he arose from his throne, and laid aside his robe from off him, - and covered him with sackcloth, and sat on ashes.
