Job 7:11-16

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹¹ “Therefore ^(A)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 ^(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 complaint,’
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 ^[c](D)waste away; I will not live forever.
Leave me alone, ^(E)for my days are but a breath.
