²⁰ Aren't my days few? Cease then, Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,

²¹ Before I go where I shall not return from, To the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;

³⁶ Jacob, their father, said to them, "You have bereaved me of my children! Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin away. All these things are against me."

¹⁹ How long will you not look away from me, Nor leave me alone until I swallow down my spittle?

⁵ Seeing his days are determined, The number of his months is with you, And you have appointed his bounds that he can't pass;

⁶ Look away from him, that he may rest, Until he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
