10. He shall return no more to his house,neither shall his place know him any more.
11. “Therefore I will not keep silent.I will speak in the anguish of my spirit.I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12. Am I a sea, or a sea monster,that you put a guard over me?
13. When I say, ‘My bed shall comfort me.My couch shall ease my complaint;’
14. then you scare me with dreams,and terrify me through visions:
15. so that my soul chooses strangling,death rather than my bones.
16. I loathe my life.I don’t want to live forever.Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
17. What is man, that you should magnify him,that you should set your mind on him,
