9. The cloud consumeth and vanisheth away; so he that goeth down to Sheol shall not come up.
10. He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him again.
11. Therefore I will not restrain my mouth: I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12. Am I a sea, or a sea-monster, that thou settest a watch over me?
13. When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;
14. Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions;
15. So that my soul chooseth strangling, death, rather than my bones.
16. I loathe it; I shall not live always: let me alone, for my days are a breath.
17. What is man, that thou makest much of him? and that thou settest thy heart upon him?
18. And that thou visitest him every morning, triest him every moment?
19. How long wilt thou not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
20. Have I sinned, what do I unto thee, thou Observer of men? Why hast thou set me as an object of assault for thee, so that I am become a burden to myself?
