Bible Verses About Judgments: Humiliation

I am the man who has seen affliction under the rod of his fury,

He has led me and made me walk in darkness and not in light.

Against me alone he turns his hand again and again, all day.

He has worn away my skin and flesh, he has broken my bones.

He has besieged and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.

He has made me live in darkness, like those who are long dead.

He has walled me in, so I can't escape; he has weighed me down with chains.

Even when I cry out, pleading for help, he shuts out my prayer.

He has barred my way with blocks of stone, he has made my paths crooked.

He lies in wait for me like a bear, like a lion in hiding.

He has forced me aside and torn me to pieces, leaving me stunned.

He has bent his bow and used me as a target for his arrows.

He has pierced my vital organs with shafts from his quiver.

I'm a laughingstock to all my people, the butt of their taunts all day long.

He has filled me with bitterness, sated me with wormwood.

He has broken my teeth with gravel and pressed me down into ashes.

I have been so deprived of peace, I have so forgotten what happiness is,

that I think, "My strength is gone, and so is my hope in ADONAI."

Remember my utter misery, the wormwood and the gall.

They are always on my mind; this is why I am so depressed.
