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.
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.
