Job 7:19-21

Good News Translation

¹⁹ Won't you look away long enough
    for me to swallow my spit?
²⁰ Are you harmed by my sin, you jailer?
    Why use me for your target practice?
    Am I so great a burden to you?
²¹ Can't you ever forgive my sin?
    Can't you pardon the wrong I do?
Soon I will be in my grave,
    and I'll be gone when you look for me.
