Job 7:11-16
Legacy Standard Bible
11 “Indeed (A)I will not hold back my mouth;
I will speak in the distress of my spirit;
I will muse on 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 bitter musing,’
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 have (D)rejected everything; I will not live forever.
Leave me alone, (E)for my days are but a breath.
Job 7:11-16
American Standard Version
11 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth;
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 thou settest a watch over me?
13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me,
My couch shall ease my complaint;
14 Then thou scarest me with dreams,
And terrifiest me through visions:
15 So that my soul chooseth strangling,
And death rather than these my bones.
16 [a]I loathe my life; I [b]would not live alway:
Let me alone; for my days are [c]vanity.
