15
If I am wicked, woe to me; Even [if] I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head. [I am] full of disgrace; See my misery!

21
Before I go [to the place from which] I shall not return, To the land of darkness and the shadow of death,
22
A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
22
A land as dark as darkness [itself,] As the shadow of death, without any order, [Where] even the light [is] like darkness.' "
