He tears me down on every side until I’m gone. He pulls up the roots of my hope as if I were a tree.

他在四围攻击我，我便归于死亡，将我的指望如树拔出来。

他在四围攻击我，我就走了；他将我的指望如树拔出。

他在四围攻击我，我就走了；他将我的指望如树拔出。

祂从四面攻击我，直到我消逝；祂把我的希望像树一样连根拔除。

他四面拆毁我，我就离世，他又把我这指望如树枝一样拔出来。

他在四圍攻擊我，我便歸於死亡，將我的指望如樹拔出來。

他在四圍攻擊我，我就走了；他將我的指望如樹拔出。

他在四圍攻擊我，我就走了；他將我的指望如樹拔出。

祂從四面攻擊我，直到我消逝；祂把我的希望像樹一樣連根拔除。

他四面拆毀我，我就離世，他又把我這指望如樹枝一樣拔出來。

他四面將我拆毁，我便去世；他將我的指望拔除、同樹一樣。

四周毀我、我則逝矣、拔我冀望、如拔樹然、

禍害切身、使我式微絕望、如樹之拔其根株、

四周毀我、使我幾死、拔我冀望、如拔樹然、

He tears me down on every side till I am gone; he uproots my hope like a tree.

He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone, and my hope has he pulled up like a tree.

He has demolished me on every side, and I am finished. He has uprooted my hope like a fallen tree.

He tears me down on every side so that I am ruined. He uproots my hope like a tree.

He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone; And He has uprooted my hope like a tree.

He breaks me down on every side, And I am gone; My hope He has uprooted like a tree.

He hath broken me down on every side, and I am gone; And my hope hath he plucked up like a tree.

He tears me down on every side so that I am ruined. He uproots my hope like a tree.

He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.

He tears me down on every side until I perish; he uproots my hope like one uproots a tree.

He has broken me down on every side, and I am gone. He has plucked my hope up like a tree.

Even their mothers forget them. The worms in their graves eat them up. No one remembers sinful people anymore. They are cut down like trees.

What he tears down can’t be rebuilt. The people he puts in prison can’t be set free.

I saw a mean and sinful person. He was doing well, like a green tree in its own land.But he soon passed away and was gone. Even though I looked for him, I couldn’t find him.

“ I’m so weak that I no longer have any hope. Things have gotten so bad that I can’t wait for help anymore.

Then what hope do I have? Who can give me any hope?

“ My days pass by faster than a weaver can work. They come to an end. I don’t have any hope.

Lord, I cry out to you for help. In the morning I pray to you.Lord, why do you say no to me? Why do you turn your face away from me?I’ve been in pain ever since I was young. I’ve been close to death. You have made me suffer terrible things. I have lost all hope.Your great anger has swept over me. Your terrors have destroyed me.All day long they surround me like a flood. They have closed in all around me.You have taken my friends and neighbors away from me. Darkness is my closest friend.

We are pushed hard from all sides. But we are not beaten down. We are bewildered. But that doesn’t make us lose hope.Others make us suffer. But God does not desert us. We are knocked down. But we are not knocked out.

Then Satan left the Lord and went on his way. He sent painful sores on Job. They covered him from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head.

My life is almost over. My plans are destroyed. Yet the desires of my heart

The Lord was like an enemy. He swallowed up Israel. He swallowed up all of its palaces. He destroyed its forts. He filled the people of Judah with sorrow and sadness.The Lord’ s temple was like a garden. But he completely destroyed it. He destroyed the place where he used to meet with his people. He made Zion’s people forget their appointed feasts and Sabbath days. When he was very angry, he turned his back on king and priest alike.

One day Job’s sons and daughters were at their oldest brother’s house. They were enjoying good food and drinking wine.During that time a messenger came to Job. He said,“ The oxen were plowing. The donkeys were eating grass near them.Then the Sabeans attacked us and carried off the animals. They killed some of the servants with their swords. I’m the only one who has escaped to tell you!”While he was still speaking, a second messenger came. He said,“ God sent lightning from the sky. It struck the sheep and killed them. It burned up some of the servants. I’m the only one who has escaped to tell you!”While he was still speaking, a third messenger came. He said,“ The Chaldeans separated themselves into three groups. They attacked your camels and carried them off. They killed the rest of the servants with their swords. I’m the only one who has escaped to tell you!”While he was still speaking, a fourth messenger came. He said,“ Your sons and daughters were at their oldest brother’s house. They were enjoying good food and drinking wine.Suddenly a strong wind blew in from the desert. It struck the four corners of the house. The house fell down on your children. Now all of them are dead. I’m the only one who has escaped to tell you!”

The same thing happens to everyone who forgets God. The hope of ungodly people dies out.What they trust in is very weak. What they depend on is like a spider’s web.They lean on it, but it falls apart. They hold on to it, but it gives way.They are like a plant in the sunshine that receives plenty of water. It spreads its new growth all over the garden.It wraps its roots around a pile of rocks. It tries to find places to grow among the stones.But when the plant is pulled up from its spot, that place says,‘ I never saw you.’

The days of my life are like an evening shadow. I dry up like grass.
