Job 7:12–16

12 Am I the seaB,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 stranglingC—

death rather than life in this body.D,d

16 I give up! I will not live forever.

Leave me alone,e for my days are a breath.E
