Job 7:12-19

12Am I the sea, or a 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 scare me with dreams and terrify me with visions,

15so that I would choose strangling and death rather than my bones.

16I loathe my life; I would not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are a breath.

17What is man, that you make so much of him, and that you set your heart on him,

18visit him every morning and test him every moment?

19How long will you not look away from me, nor leave me alone till I swallow my spit?
