8All day long my enemies reproach me; those who mock me swear by me.

9For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with weeping.

10because of your indignation and your wrath, for you have lifted me up and cast me away.

11My days are like a lengthening shadow, and I wither away like grass.
