And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
