12 Am I the sea, or the monster of the deep,that you put me under guard?
13 When I think my bed will comfort meand my couch will ease my complaint,
14 even then you frighten me with dreamsand terrify me with visions,
15 so that I prefer strangling and death,rather than this body of mine.
16 I despise my life; I would not live for ever.Let me alone; my days have no meaning.
17 ‘What is mankind that you make so much of them,that you give them so much attention,
18 that you examine them every morningand test them every moment?
