4 My heart is smitten like grass, and withered;
For I forget to eat my bread. 5 By reason of the voice of my groaning
My bones cleave to my flesh. 6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness;

That is alone upon the house-top. 8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day;
They that are mad against me do curse by me. 9 For I have eaten ashes like bread,
And mingled my drink with weeping,
