10. he returns no more to his house,nor does his place know him anymore.
11. “Therefore I will not restrain my mouth;I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12. Am I the sea, or a sea monster,that you set a guard over me?
13. When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me,my couch will ease my complaint,’
14. then you scare me with dreamsand terrify me with visions,
15. so that I would choose stranglingand death rather than my bones.
16. I loathe my life; I would not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are a breath.
17. What is man, that you make so much of him,and that you set your heart on him,
18. visit him every morningand test him every moment?
19. How long will you not look away from me,nor leave me alone till I swallow my spit?
20. If I sin, what do I do to you, you watcher of mankind?Why have you made me your mark?Why have I become a burden to you?
21. Why do you not pardon my transgressionand take away my iniquity?For now I shall lie in the earth;you will seek me, but I shall not be.”
