21 who expect death, and it does not arrive, like those who dig for treasure
22 and who rejoice greatly when they have found the grave,
23 to a man whose way is hidden and whom God has surrounded with darkness?
24 Before I eat, I sigh; and like overflowing waters, so is my howl,
25 for the terror that I feared has happened to me, and so has the dread befallen me.
26 Have I not remained hidden? Have I not kept silence? Have I not remained calm? Yet indignation has overcome me.
