15. so that my being chooses strangling, death rather than my bones.
16. I have wasted away, I would not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are a breath.
17. What is man, that You should make him great, that You should set Your heart on him,
18. that You should visit him every morning, trying him every moment?
19. How long do You not look away from me, nor leave me alone till I swallow my saliva?
20. Have I sinned? What have I done to You, O Watcher of men? Why have You set me as Your target, so that I am a burden to You?
