Original text and translations

Latin text Peccavi, quid faciam tibi, o custos hominum? Quare me posuisti contrarium tibi et factus sum mihimet ipsi gravis? Cur non tollis peccatum meum, et quare non aufers iniquitatem meam? Ecce nunc in pulvere dormiam et si mane me quaesieris non subsistam.

English translation I have sinned. What have I done to you, preserver of men? Why have you made me your target, so that I have become a burden to you? Why do you not pardon my offences and forgive my sins? For I will soon lie down in the dust; you will search for me, but I will be no more. (Job, Chapter 7, translation adapted from the New International Version of the Bible)
