Job 7:11-16
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Therefore I will not [a]spare my mouth, but will speak in the trouble of my spirit, and muse in the bitterness of my mind.
12 Am I a sea [b]or a whalefish, that thou keepest me in ward?
13 When I say, My couch shall relieve me, and my bed shall bring comfort in my meditation,
14 Then fearest thou me [c]with dreams, and astonishest me with visions.
15 Therefore my soul [d]chooseth rather to be strangled and to die, than to be in my bones.
16 I abhor it: I shall not live always: [e]spare me then, for my days are but vanity.
