20 Why does God let me livewhen life is miserableand so bitter?
21 I keep longing for deathmore than I would seeka valuable treasure.
22 Nothing could make me happierthan to be in the grave.
23 Why do I go on livingwhen God has me surrounded,and I can't see the road?
24 Moaning and groaningare my food and drink,
25 and my worst fearshave all come true.
26 I have no peace or rest—only troubles and worries.
