New Catholic Bible

God’s Severity[a]

16 “And now my life has begun to ebb away;
    my days are filled with grief and affliction.
17 During the night pain wracks my bones,
    and I suffer from ceaseless throbbing that allows me no respite.
18 God seizes my garment violently,
    grasping me by the collar of my tunic.
