17 You bring new witnesses against me. You become more and more angry with me. You use your power against me again and again.
18 " 'Why did you bring me out of my mother's body? I wish I had died before anyone saw me.
19 I wish I'd never been born! I wish I'd been carried straight from my mother's body to the grave!
20 Aren't my few days almost over? Leave me so I can have a moment of joy.
21 Turn away before I go to the place I can't return from. It's the land of darkness and deep shadow.
22 It's the land of darkest night and deep shadow and disorder. There even the light is like darkness.' "
