17 What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him? |
18 And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment? |
19 How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle? |
20 I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself? |
21 And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be. |
