Job 7:11-16

Modern English Version

¹¹ “Therefore, I will not restrain my mouth;
    I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;
    I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
¹² Am I the sea, or a sea monster,
    that You set a guard over me?
¹³ When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me,
    my couch will ease my complaint,’
¹⁴ then You scare me with dreams
    and terrify me with visions,
¹⁵ so that my soul chooses strangling,
    even death rather than my life.
¹⁶ I loathe my life; I would not live forever;
    let me alone, for my days are emptiness.
