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
Christian Standard Bible
11 Therefore 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[a](A) or a sea monster,(B)
that you keep me under guard?
13 When I say, “My bed will comfort me,
and my couch will ease my complaint,”
14 then you frighten me with dreams,
and terrify me with visions,(C)
15 so that I prefer strangling[b]—
death rather than life in this body.[c](D)
16 I give up! I will not live forever.
Leave me alone,(E) for my days are a breath.[d]
