If only my anguish
Could be weighed with scales
My calamity, like the sands of the sea
Arrows have pierced me
I drink its venom
Terror in my mind
Tasteless without salt
If you could hear my words
If you could feel my wants
Do I have the strength to keep on waiting
Is there any way to help myself
My own brothers have been treacherous
As a winter stream
Like waters that dry up
Darkened by ice
Melting snow is hidden
To their end
When it becomes hot
Into the desert they vanish
They are ashamed
Because of misplaced trust
The terror of my calamity
Frightens you
Instruct Me
And I will be silent
Help me understand
My mistakes
Honest Words are not painful
Are you scheming to reprove my words
A desperate man’s sayings
Like wind blows away
You would cast lots over orphans
And sell your own friend
So now turn and look at me
Is my tongue speaking untruth
I would not lie to your face
Does my palate not discern that something is wrong
Reconsider
