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 seaA,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 stranglingB—

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
