Job 7:11-16
Legacy Standard Bible
11 “Indeed (A)I will not hold back my mouth;
I will speak in the distress of my spirit;
I will muse on the bitterness of my soul.
12 Am I the sea or (B)the sea monster,
That You set a guard over me?
13 If I say, ‘(C)My bed will comfort me;
My couch will [a]ease my bitter musing,’
14 Then You frighten me with dreams
And terrify me by visions,
15 So that my soul would choose suffocation,
Death rather than my [b]pains.
16 I have (D)rejected everything; I will not live forever.
Leave me alone, (E)for my days are but a breath.
Job 7:11-16
Evangelical Heritage Version
Job 7:11-16
Evangelical Heritage Version
11 That is why I will not restrain my mouth.
I will speak out in the anguish of my spirit.
I will lament in the bitterness of my soul.
12 Am I the sea or a great creature of the deep
that you need to put me under guard?
13 When I say that my bed will comfort me,
and my couch will help me with my lament,
14 then you frighten me with dreams
and terrify me with visions,
15 so I would prefer to be strangled,
and I prefer death more than my current existence.[a]
16 I reject my life. I do not want to live forever.
Leave me alone, for my days are just a vanishing vapor.
