Job 7:11-16

Revised Standard Version

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, or a sea monster,
    that thou settest a guard over me?
¹³ When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me,
    my couch will ease my complaint,’
¹⁴ then thou dost scare me with dreams
    and terrify me with visions,
¹⁵ so that I would choose strangling
    and death rather than my bones.
¹⁶ I loathe my life; I would not live for ever.
    Let me alone, for my days are a breath.
