10. Have you not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11. You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and have knit me together with bones and sinews.
12. You have granted me life and favor, and your care has preserved my spirit.
13. And these things have you hid in your heart: I know that this is with you.
14. If I sin, then you mark me, and you will not acquit me from my iniquity.
15. If I am wicked, woe unto me; and if I am righteous, yet can I not lift up my head. I am full of disgrace; therefore see my affliction;
16. For it increases. You hunt me as a fierce lion: and again you show yourself awesome against me.
17. You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your indignation upon me; changes and war are ever with me.
18. Why then have you brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had died, and no eye had seen me!
19. I would have been as though I had not been; I would have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20. Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21. Before I go where I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
22. A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
