Job 7:12-19

12Am I the sea, or the sea monster, That You set a guard over me?

13When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me, My couch will ease my complaint,’

14Then You frighten me with dreams And terrify me through visions,

15So that I would choose suffocation, Death rather than my pain.

16I waste away and loathe my life; I will not live forever. Let me alone, for my days are but a breath [futile and without substance].

17What is man that You [should] magnify him [and think him important]? And that You are concerned about him?

18And that You examine him every morning And try and test him every moment?

19Will You never turn Your gaze away from me [it plagues me], Nor let me alone until I swallow my spittle?
