Job 7:12-19

12Am I a sea, or a sea serpent, 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 my soul chooses strangling And death rather than my body.

16I loathe my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone, For my days are but a breath.

17“What is man, that You should exalt him, That You should set Your heart on him,

18That You should visit him every morning, And test him every moment?

19How long? Will You not look away from me, And let me alone till I swallow my saliva?
