Job 7:11-21

11Therefore I will notH3808 refrainH2820 my mouthH6310; I will speakH1696 in the anguish of my spiritH7307; I will complainH7878 in the bitternessH4751 of my soulH5315. 12Am I a seaH3220, or a sea-monster, that thou settest a watchH4929 over meH5921? 13When I sayH559, My bedH4904 shall comfortH5162 meH5162, my couchH6210 shall easeH5375 my complaint; 14Then thou scarest meH2472 with dreamsH2472, and terrifiest meH2472 through visionsH2384: 15So that my soulH5315 chooseth strangling, and deathH4194 rather than these my bonesH6106. 16I loathe my lifeH3117; I would notH3808 liveH2421 alway: letH3808 meH4480 aloneH2308; for my daysH3117 are vanityH1892. 17WhatH4100 is manH582, that thou shouldest magnifyH1431 him, and that thou shouldest setH7896 thine heartH3820 uponH413 him, 18And that thou shouldest visitH6485 him everyH1242 morningH1242, and tryH974 him everyH1242 momentH7281? 19HowH4100 longH5704 wilt thou notH3808 lookH8159 awayH4480 from meH4480, norH3808 letH7503 meH4480 aloneH7503 tillH5704 I swallowH1104 down my spittleH7536? 20IfH1961 I have sinnedH2398, whatH4100 doH6466 I unto thee, O thou watcherH5341 of menH120? whyH4100 hast thou setH7760 meH5921 as a markH7760 for thee, soH1961 that I am a burdenH4853 to myself? 21And whyH4100 dost thou notH3808 pardonH5375 my transgressionH6588, and takeH5375 awayH5375 mine iniquityH5771? for nowH6258 shall I lieH7901 downH7901 in the dustH6083; and thou shall seekH7836 meH3808 diligentlyH7836, but I shall notH3808 be.
