12 He bends his bow, makes me the mark Which [piercing] arrows level at.
13 The shafts which from his quiver come, Enter [into] and pierce my reins;

15 With bitterness he filled me, With wormwood [he hath] made me drunk;
16 With gravel-stones he brake my teeth, My flesh's in ashes [rolled and] shrunk.
