10 Remove your stroke from me;
    I am worn down by the blows[a] of your hand.

11 ‘You chastise mortals
    in punishment for sin,
consuming like a moth what is dear to them;

    and give ear to my cry;
    do not hold your peace at my tears.
For I am your passing guest,
    an alien, like all my forebears.
