²¹ Who ^(A)long^[a] for death, but it does not come,
And search for it more than ^(B)hidden treasures;

²² Who rejoice exceedingly,
And are glad when they can find the ^(A)grave?

¹⁵ So that my soul chooses strangling
And death rather than ^[a]my body.

^16 (A)I loathe my life;
I would not live forever.
^(B)Let me alone,
For ^(C)my days are but ^[a]a breath.
