20 Aren't my days few? Cease then, Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,
"Man, who is born of a woman, Is of few days, and full of trouble.
Oh spare me, that I may recover strength, Before I go away, and be no more."
I loathe my life. I don't want to live forever. Leave me alone; for my days are but a breath. What is man, that you should magnify him, That you should set your mind on him, That you should visit him every morning, And test him every moment? How long will you not look away from me, Nor leave me alone until I swallow down my spittle? If I have sinned, what do I do to you, you watcher of men? Why have you set me as a mark for you, So that I am a burden to myself? Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity? For now shall I lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I shall not be."
(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days on earth are a shadow.)
Withdraw your hand far from me; And don't let your terror make me afraid.
Behold, you have made my days handbreadths. My lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely every man stands as a breath." Selah.
