12 Like a shepherd’s tent,
    my home has been pulled down and taken from me.
I am finished
    like the cloth a weaver rolls up and cuts from the loom.[a]
    In one day you brought me to this end.
13 All night I cried loudly.
    Like a lion, he crushed all my bones.
    In one day you brought me to this end.
14 I cried like a bird
    and moaned like a dove.
My eyes became tired as I looked to the heavens.
    Lord, I have troubles. Please help me.”
