Job 7:14
Verse 14 of 21. The 7th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.
10He 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.
12Am I a sea, or a sea monster, that you put a guard over me?
13When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me. My couch will ease my complaint,’
14then you scare me with dreams and terrify me through visions,
15so that my soul chooses strangling, death rather than my bones.
16I loathe my life. I don’t want to live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
17What is man, that you should magnify him, that you should set your mind on him,
18that you should visit him every morning, and test him every moment?
