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]
Job 7:11-16
English Standard Version
11 “Therefore I will not (A)restrain my mouth;
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;
I will (B)complain in (C)the bitterness of my soul.
12 Am I the sea, or (D)a sea monster,
that you set a guard over me?
13 (E)When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me,
my couch will ease my complaint,’
14 then you scare me with dreams
and terrify me with visions,
15 so that I would choose strangling
and death rather than my (F)bones.
16 I (G)loathe my life; I would not live forever.
(H)Leave me alone, for my days are (I)a breath.
