7:17 “What is mankind 1 that you make so much of them, 2
and that you pay attention 3 to them?
7:18 And that you visit 4 them every morning,
and try 5 them every moment? 6
7:19 Will you never 7 look away from me, 8
will you not let me alone 9
long enough to swallow my spittle?
7:20 If 10 I have sinned – what have I done to you, 11
O watcher of men? 12
Why have you set me as your target? 13
Have I become a burden to you? 14
7:21 And why do you not pardon my transgression,
and take away my iniquity?
For now I will lie down in the dust, 15
and you will seek me diligently, 16
but I will be gone.”
