Job:7:11-21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Therefore I will not refrain my mouth ;
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit ;
I will complain in the bitterness of my soul .
*
Am I a sea ,
or a whale ,
that thou settest a watch over me ?
*
When I say ,
My bed shall comfort me ,
my couch shall ease my complaint ;
*
Then thou scarest me with dreams ,
and terrifiest me through visions :
*
So that my soul chooseth strangling ,
and death rather than my life .
*
I loathe it ;
I would not live alway :
let me alone ;
for my days are vanity .
*
What is man ,
that thou shouldest magnify him ?
and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him ?
*
And that thou shouldest visit him every morning ,
and try him every moment ?
*
How long wilt thou not depart from me ,
nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle ?
*
I have sinned ;
what shall I do unto thee ,
O thou preserver of men ?
why hast thou set me as a mark against thee ,
so that I am a burden to myself ?
*
And why dost thou not pardon my transgression ,
and take away mine iniquity ?
for now shall I sleep in the dust ;
and thou shalt seek me in the morning ,
but I shall not be .
