12. Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou hast enclosed me in a prison?
13. If I say: My bed shall comfort me, and I shall be relieved speaking with myself on my couch:
14. Thou wilt frighten me with dreams and terrify me with visions.
15. So that my soul rather chooseth hanging, and my bones death.
16. I have done with hope, I shall now live no longer: spare me, for my days are nothing.
17. What is a man that thou shouldst magnify him? or why dost thou set thy heart upon him?
18. Thou visitest him early in the morning, and thou provest him suddenly.
19. How long wilt thou not spare me, nor suffer me to swallow down my spittle?
