Job 7:13 in context

Job 7:10–16

10

He will return no more to his house,

neither will his place know him any more.

11

“Therefore I will not keep silent.

I will speak in the anguish of my spirit.

I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

12

Am I a sea, or a sea monster,

that you put a guard over me?

13
Selected verse

When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me.

My couch will ease my complaint,’

14

then you scare me with dreams

and terrify me through visions,

15

so that my soul chooses strangling,

death rather than my bones.

16

I loathe my life.

I don’t want to live forever.

Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
