Job 7:11-16
New King James Version
11 “Therefore I will (A)not restrain my mouth;
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;
I will (B)complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12 Am I a sea, or a sea serpent,
That You set a guard over me?
13 (C)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 my soul chooses strangling
And death rather than [a]my body.
16 (D)I loathe my life;
I would not live forever.
(E)Let me alone,
For (F)my days are but [b]a breath.
Job 7:11-16
21st Century King James 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 a sea, or a whale, 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 my life.
16 I loathe it; I would not live always. Let me alone, for my days are vanity.
