Job 7:12-19
12Am I the sea, or the creature of the deep, that you must put me under guard?
13If 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 prefer strangling, and death more than life.
16I loathe it; I do not want to live forever; leave me alone, for my days are a vapor!
17“What is mankind that you make so much of them, and that you pay attention to them?
18And that you visit them every morning, and try them every moment?
19Will you never look away from me, will you not let me alone long enough to swallow my spittle?
