16 And it riseth -- as a lion Thou huntest me. And Thou  turnest back -- Thou shewest Thyself wonderful in me.
         
                                
                        17 Thou renewest Thy witnesses against me, And dost multiply  Thine anger with me, Changes and warfare [are] with me.
         
                                
                        18 And why from the womb Hast Thou brought me forth? I  expire, and the eye doth not see me.
         
                                
                        19 As I had not been, I am, From the belly to the grave I am  brought,
         
                                
                        20 Are not my days few? Cease then, and put from me, And I  brighten up a little,
         
                                
                        21 Before I go, and return not, Unto a land of darkness and  death-shade,
         
                                
                        22 A land of obscurity as thick darkness, Death-shade -- and  no order, And the shining [is] as thick darkness.`
