\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The grave is waiting for me.<br \/>\r\n  <sup>2<\/sup>\u00a0Those who laugh at me surround me;<br \/>\r\n  \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I watch them insult me.<\/p>\r\n<p><sup>3<\/sup>\u00a0\u201cGod, make me a promise.<br \/>\r\n  \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0No one will make a pledge for me.<br \/>\r\n  <sup>4<\/sup>\u00a0You have closed their minds to understanding.<br \/>\r\n  \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Do not let them win over me.<br \/>\r\n  <sup>5<\/sup>\u00a0People might speak against their friends for money,<br \/>\r\n  \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but if they do, the eyes of their children go blind.<\/p>\r\n<p><sup>6<\/sup>\u00a0\u201cGod has made my name a curse word;<br \/>\r\n  \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0people spit in my face.<br \/>\r\n  <sup>7<\/sup>\u00a0My sight has grown weak because of my sadness,<br \/>\r\n  \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and my body is as thin as a shadow.<br \/>\r\n  <sup>8<\/sup>\u00a0Honest people are upset about this;<br \/>\r\n  \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0innocent people are upset with those who do wrong.<br \/>\r\n  <sup>9<\/sup>\u00a0But those who do right will continue to do right,<br

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I do not find a wise person among you.<br \/>\r\n  <sup>11<\/sup>\u00a0My days are gone, and my plans have been destroyed,<br \/>\r\n  \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0along with the
