11 God has given me to evil people.
    He let the wicked hurt me.
12 I was enjoying a quiet, peaceful life,
    but then God crushed me.
Yes, he took me by the neck
    and broke me into pieces.
He has made me his target.
13     With his archers all around me,
he shoots arrows into my kidneys.
    He shows no mercy
    and spills my gall[a] on the ground.
