14. If I sin, then thou markest me, And thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
15. If I be wicked, woe unto me; And if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up my head; Being filled with ignominy, And looking upon mine affliction.
16. And if my head exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion; And again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me.
17. Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, And increasest thine indignation upon me: Changes and warfare are with me.
18. Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me.
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? cease then, And let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21. Before I go whence I shall not return, Even to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
22. The land dark as midnight, The land of the shadow of death, without any order, And where the light is as midnight.
