3 Com certeza se virou contra mim, revirou sua mão o dia todo.
4 Fez envelhecer minha carne e minha pele, quebrou meus ossos.
5 Edificou contra mim, e cercou [-me] de fel e de trabalho.
6 Fez-me habitar em lugares escuros, como os que já morrera há muito tempo.
7 Cercou-me por todos lados, e não posso sair; tornou pesados os meus grilhões.
