13 “I wish you would hide me in a grave!
    I wish you would cover me up until your anger passes by!
I wish you would set the time for me to spend in the grave
    and then bring me back up!

    All the days of my hard work

15 You will call out to me, and I will answer you.
    You will long for the person your hands have made.
