²¹ Who ^[a](A)long for death, but there is none,
And dig for it more than for ^(B)hidden treasures;
²² Who are filled with jubilation,
And rejoice when they find the grave?

¹⁵ So that my soul would choose suffocation,
Death rather than my ^[a]pains.
¹⁶ I ^[b](A)waste away; I will not live forever.
Leave me alone, ^(B)for my days are only a breath.
