17. You produce new witnesses against meand multiply Your anger toward me.Hardships assault me, wave after wave.
18. “Why did You bring me out of the womb? I should have died and never been seen.
19. I wish I had never existedbut had been carried from the womb to the grave.
20. Are my days not few? Stop it! Leave me alone, so that I can smile a little
21. before I go to a land of darkness and gloom, never to return.
22. It is a land of blackness like the deepest darkness,gloomy and chaotic,where even the light is like the darkness.”
