13 Keep quiet, and let me say what is in my mind, whatever may come to me.
So I will not keep my mouth shut; I will let the words come from it in the pain of my spirit, my soul will make a bitter outcry.
If only you would keep quiet, it would be a sign of wisdom!
So that a hard death seems better to my soul than my pains. I have no desire for life, I would not be living for ever! Keep away from me, for my days are as a breath.
My soul is tired of life; I will let my sad thoughts go free in words; my soul will make a bitter outcry.
