15 so that I would choose strangling

and death rather than my bones.

16 I loathe my life; I would not live forever.

Leave me alone, for my days are a breath.

15 So that my soul chooseth strangling, And death rather than my life. 16 I loathe it; I would not live alway: Let me alone; for my days are vanity.

15 I would rather be strangled—

rather die than suffer like this.

16 I hate my life and don’t want to go on living.

Oh, leave me alone for my few remaining days.

15 So that my soul chooses strangling

And death rather than my body.

16 I loathe my life;

I would not live forever.

Let me alone,

For my days are but a breath.

15 My throat prefers to be choked;

my bones welcome death.

16 I hate my life; I don’t want to live forever.

Leave me alone, because my days have no meaning.

15 So that my soul chooseth strangling,

And death rather than these my bones.

16 I loathe my life; I would not live alway:

Let me alone; for my days are vanity.

15 So that my soul chooseth strangling, death, rather than my bones. 16 I loathe it; I shall not live always: let me alone, for my days are a breath.

15 My throat would rather be choked. 

My bodywould prefer death ⸤to these dreams⸥. 

16 I hate my life; I do not want to live forever. 

Leave me alone because my days are so brief. 

15 so that I prefer strangling —

death rather than life in this body.

16 I give up! I will not live forever.

Leave me alone, for my days are a breath.

15 so that I would choose strangling

and death rather than this body.

16 I loathe my life; I would not live forever.

Let me alone, for my days are a breath.

15 So my inner self will choose strangling—

death more than my existence.

16 I loathe my life; I would not live forever;

depart from me, for my days are a breath.

15 So I would rather choke to death.

That would be better than living in this body of mine.

16 I hate my life. I don’t want to live forever.

Leave me alone. My days don’t mean anything to me.

15 So that my soul would choose suffocation,

Death rather than my pains.

16 “I waste away; I will not live forever.

Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
