He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.

And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

Worlds had to be in travail, that the meanest flower might blow.

His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
