15 And my soul thought it better to be strangled and desired death more than my bones.
16 I loathed life; I do not desire to live for ever; let me alone; for my days are vanity.
17 What is man that thou should magnify him and that thou should set thine heart upon him
18 and that thou should visit him every morning and try him every moment?
19 For how long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone until I swallow down my spittle?
20 If I have sinned, what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? Why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?
21 And why dost thou not take away my rebellion and pass over my iniquity? For now I shall sleep in the dust; and if thou shalt seek me in the morning, I shall not be found.
