Job 7:11-16
International Standard Version

Job Intends to Complain

11 “In addition, I won’t keep my opinion[a] to myself;
    I’ll speak from my distressed spirit;
        I’ll complain with my bitter soul.
12 Am I the sea, or a sea monster,
    that you keep watching me?
13 For I’ve said, ‘My bed will comfort me;
    my couch will ease my burdens[b] while I complain.’
14 But then you scared me with dreams;
    you terrified me with visions.
15 I would rather die by strangulation
    than continue living.[c]
16 I hate the thought of living forever!
    Leave me alone, because my days are pointless.”

Job 7:11-16
Lexham English Bible

11 “Even[a] I will not restrain my mouth;
I will speak in my spirit’s anguish;
I will complain in my inner self’s[b] bitterness.
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,
and my couch[c] will ease my complaint,’
14 then[d] you terrify me with dreams,[e]
and with visions you terrify[f] me.
15 So[g] my inner self[h] will choose[i] strangling—
death more than my existence.[j]
16 I loathe my life; I would not live forever;
depart from me, for my days are a breath.
