12 Like a shepherd’s tent,
    my home has been pulled down and taken from me.
I am finished like the cloth
    a weaver rolls up and cuts from the loom.
    In one day you brought me to this end.
13 All night I cried loudly.
    Like a lion, he crushed all my bones.

14 I cried like a bird.
    I moaned like a dove.
My eyes became tired as I looked to the heavens.
    Lord, I have troubles. Please help me.”
