Job 7:12-19

12Am I a sea, or a monster of the deep that You have set a watch 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 with visions,

15so that my soul prefers strangulation, and my bones death.

16I despise it; I would not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are a vapor.

17“What is mankind, that You magnify him, that You set Your heart on him,

18that You visit him every morning, and test him in every moment?

19Will You never look away from me, or let me alone until I swallow my spittle?
