O you whose turning away has brought my Judgment Day upon me,
O you who revived me with your distance,
The body wastes away, and the heart melts.
My body is dissolving and my heart is melting.

You have made me ill, so through prolonged sickness I have suffered
You made me sick, so I have suffered from long estrangement
what even Job has not endured a fraction of.
What Job would not suffer some of.

And I cried from anguish for you in burning
in sorrow for you, as Jacob wept.
Grieving for you as Jacob cried.
