I loathe my life I vent my complaints In my bitter distress I speak Do not pronounce me guilty Why are you contending with me Does it benefit you to oppress To despise the work of your hands Do you have eyes of flesh Are your days like mortals No one can save me from your hand Destroyed by the artist Why did you bring me out from the womb I should...Learn More

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...Learn More

Please hear my words My cries to you for help Do not hide your face from me, in my time of distress Turn your ears to me Answer me quickly when I call My days are vanishing like smoke My bones are charred in a fireplace My hearts been stuck like grass My soul has withered I forget to eat my food because of my loud groaning My bones cling to my...Learn More

How long will you keep irritating my soul Crushing me with words I've been completely rebuked You are not ashamed to deal harshly My errors remain with me Exult yourself You claim this reproach against me is justified The sun has caught me in its hunting net I keep crying for help but there is no justice My path is blocked with a stone wall I...Learn More

They laugh at me Men younger than I am Whose fathers I would have refused With dogs that guarded my flock What use was the power of their hands Their vigor has perished They are worn out from want and hunger They gnaw at the parched ground That was ruined and desolated They gather preserves from the bushes Consuming the root of diseased...Learn More

Let the day perish on which I was born Let that day be darkness Let the sun not shine upon that place Let it be reclaimed by the deepest gloom Let a rain cloud settle over it Let whatever darkens the day terrify it Let it not rejoice among the days of a year Let it not enter among the number of the months Let that night become barren Let no joyful...Learn More

My beloved by day I cry out At night I'm in your presense Please hear my words Open your ears to my pleas My soul is filled with destruction My life hangs by the crevices of the grave I'm in the book of those destined for dust A being of helplessness I'm left among the dead Like inanimate corpses Those whose long forgotten Separated from all...Learn More

Wraped in greatness Majestic clothing The lights surrounds your crevices Expanse in your hands like a cloth Miniscule and basic Elemental control On wings of the wind An army of sons Exuding a consuming fire Laying down a rock of eternity It will not be moved from its place Covered by deep waters of apparel So high it stood above the mountains At...Learn More
