17. You renew Your witnesses against meand increase Your indignation upon me.Your troops come against me.
18. “Why then did You bring me forth out of the womb?Oh, that I had died, and no eye had seenme!
19. I should have been as though I had not been;I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20. Are not my days few? Stop then,and leave me alone that I may cheer up a little,
21. before I go and do 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 thick darkness.”
