16. For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou showest thyself wonderful upon me.
17. Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thy indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
18. Why then hast thou brought me forth from the womb? O that I had expired, and no eye had seen me!
19. I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20. Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21. Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness, and the shades of death;
22. A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shades of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
