Insignificance of Humans

7:17 “What is mankind59 that you make so much of them,60

and that you pay attention61 to them?

7:18 And that you visit62 them every morning,

and try63 them every moment?64

7:19 Will you never65 look away from me,66

will you not let me alone67

long enough to swallow my spittle?

7:20 If68 I have sinned—what have I done to you,69

O watcher of men?70

Why have you set me as your target?71

Have I become a burden to you?72

7:21 And why do you not pardon my transgression,

and take away my iniquity?

For now I will lie down in the dust,73

and you will seek me diligently,74

but I will be gone.”
