Almighty God has shot me with arrows, and their poison spreads through my body. God has lined up his terrors against me.

But you---you terrify me with dreams; you send me visions and nightmares

If I smile and try to forget my pain, all my suffering comes back to haunt me; I know that God does hold me guilty.

(SEE 9:27)

If I have any success at all, you hunt me down like a lion; to hurt me you even work miracles.

Ever since I was young, I have suffered and been near death; I am worn out from the burden of your punishments.

I have swept your sins away like a cloud. Come back to me; I am the one who saves you."

But the LORD says, "Israel and Judah, what am I going to do with you? Your love for me disappears as quickly as morning mist; it is like dew, that vanishes early in the day.

And so these people will disappear like morning mist, like the dew that vanishes early in the day. They will be like chaff which the wind blows from the threshing place, like smoke from a chimney.
