Job 7:11-16

World English Bible

¹¹ “Therefore I will not keep silent.
    I will speak in the anguish of my spirit.
    I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
¹² Am I a sea, or a sea monster,
    that you put 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 through visions,
¹⁵ so that my soul chooses strangling,
    death rather than my bones.
¹⁶ I loathe my life.
    I don’t want to live forever.
    Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
