17. What is enosh (man), that Thou shouldest make much of him? And that Thou shouldest set Thine lev upon him?
18. And that Thou shouldest visit him every boker, and try him every moment?
19. How long dost Thou not look away from me? Nor let me alone till I swallow down my rok (spittle)?
20. Chatati (I have sinned); what shall I do unto Thee, O Thou Notzer HaAdam (Observer of men)? Why hast Thou set me as a mifgah (mark, target, something to be hit) to Thee, so that I am a massa (burden) to Thee?
21. And why dost Thou not pardon my peysha (transgression), and take away my avon (iniquity)? For now shall I sleep in the aphar; and Thou shalt search for me, but I shall be no more.
