Job 7:7-17 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

7. I beg you, God, don't forget!My life is just a breath,and trouble lies ahead.

8. I will vanish from sight,and no one, including you,will ever see me again.

9. I will disappear in the graveor vanish from sightlike a passing cloud.

10. Never will I return home;soon I will be forgotten.

11. And so, I cry out to youin agony and distress.

12. Am I the sea or a sea monster?Is that why you imprison me?

13. I go to bed, hoping for rest,

14. but you torture mewith terrible dreams.

15-16. I'd rather choke to deaththan live in this body.Leave me alone and let me die;my life has no meaning.

17. What makes you so concernedabout us humans?
