When { your mighty …… } { (the 2 Urim mss. have instead:) my …… } completely crushed me, my heart sank and { thirst and hunger } { (1 Urim ms. has instead:) hunger and thirst } wasted me away. Your status consumes me, your complaints crush me, your majesty oppresses me, your { slander } { (1 Urim ms. has instead:) your storminess } puts an end to me. { After being attentive I have been abandoned } { (the 2 Urim mss. have instead:) Despite being attentive I have been cut off from my position } . { Deceit has emerged from my wisdom and sympathy } { (1 Urim ms. has instead:) Deceit has replaced wisdom and sympathy }. (2 mss. omit line 16)
