19 How long[a] will you not turn away from me?
Or not leave me alone until I swallow[b] my spit?
20 If I have sinned, what have I done to you, watcher of humanity?
Why have you made me as a target for yourself,
so that[c] I have become a burden to myself?[d]
21 And why do you not pardon my transgression
and take away my guilt?
For now I shall lie in the dust,
and you will seek me, but[e] I will be no more.”[f]
