15. So that my soul chooses strangling, and death rather than my life.
16. I loathe it; I would not live always: let me alone; for my days are vanity.
17. What is man, that you should magnify him? and that you should set your heart upon him?
18. And that you should visit him every morning, and test him every moment?
19. How long will you not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
20. I have sinned; what shall I do unto you, O you preserver of men? why have you set me as a mark against you, so that I am a burden to myself?
21. And why do you not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and you shall seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
