13. Yet these things you hid in your heart;I know that this was your purpose.
14. If I sin, you watch meand do not acquit me of my iniquity.
15. If I am guilty, woe to me!If I am in the right, I cannot lift up my head,for I am filled with disgraceand look on my affliction.
16. And were my head lifted up, you would hunt me like a lionand again work wonders against me.
17. You renew your witnesses against meand increase your vexation toward me;you bring fresh troops against me.
18. “Why did you bring me out from the womb?Would that I had died before any eye had seen me
19. and were as though I had not been,carried from the womb to the grave.
20. Are not my days few? Then cease, and leave me alone, that I may find a little cheer
21. before I go—and I shall not return—to the land of darkness and deep shadow,
22. the land of gloom like thick darkness,like deep shadow without any order,where light is as thick darkness.”
