Job Remonstrates with God

7:11 “Therefore,35 I will not refrain my mouth;36

I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;

I will complain37 in the bitterness of my soul.

7:12 Am I the sea, or the creature of the deep,38

that you must put39 me under guard?40

7:13 If41 I say,42 “My bed will comfort me,43

my couch will ease44 my complaint,”

7:14 then you scare me45 with dreams

and terrify46 me with47 visions,

7:15 so that I48 would prefer49 strangling,50

and51 death52 more53 than life.54

7:16 I loathe55 it;56 I do not want to live forever;

leave me alone,57 for my days are a vapor!58
