18. “So why did you allow me to be born?I wish I had died before anyone saw me.
19. I wish I had never lived,but had been carried straight from birth to the grave.
20. The few days of my life are almost over.Leave me alone so I can have a moment of joy.
21. Soon I will leave; I will not returnfrom the land of darkness and gloom,
22. the land of darkest night,from the land of gloom and confusion,where even the light is darkness.”
