Job 7:11-16 (Listen)

• Job 6
• Job 7
• Job 8

11 “Therefore I will not lrestrain my mouth;

I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;

I will mcomplain in nthe bitterness of my soul.

12 Am I the sea, or oa sea monster,

that you set a guard over me?

13 pWhen I say, ‘My bed will comfort me,

my couch will ease my complaint,’

14 then you scare me with dreams

and terrify me with visions,

15 so that I would choose strangling

and death rather than my qbones.

16 I rloathe my life; I would not live forever.

sLeave me alone, for my days are ta breath.
