A punishment which I do not understand has ravaged me and I have wailed my lamenting. In a strange city I moan like a dove and receive no mercy. I am constantly restless like a dog which does not know where to settle down. I am watchful like a bird which has flown from the claws of a falcon. My exuberance has perished in blight like a garden that has not been { watered } { (1 ms. has instead:) tended }. Envy within my king's palace overwhelms me and a bad reputation besets me.
