Job 7:11-16

Legacy Standard Bible

¹¹ “Indeed ^(A)I will not hold back my mouth;
I will speak in the distress of my spirit;
I will muse on the bitterness of my soul.
¹² Am I the sea or ^(B)the sea monster,
That You set a guard over me?
¹³ If I say, ‘^(C)My bed will comfort me;
My couch will ^[a]ease my bitter musing,’
¹⁴ Then You frighten me with dreams
And terrify me by visions,
¹⁵ So that my soul would choose suffocation,
Death rather than my ^[b]pains.
¹⁶ I have ^(D)rejected everything; I will not live forever.
Leave me alone, ^(E)for my days are but a breath.
