Job 7:8-16 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

8. Nor shall the sight of man behold me: thy eyes are upon me, and I shall be no more.

9. As a cloud is consumed, and passeth away: so he that shall go down to hell shall not come up.

10. Nor shall he return my more into his house, neither shall his place know him any more.

11. Wherefore I will not spare my month, I will speak in the affliction of my spirit: I will talk with the bitterness of my soul.

12. Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou hast enclosed me in a prison?

13. If I say: My bed shall comfort me, and I shall be relieved speaking with myself on my couch:

14. Thou wilt frighten me with dreams and terrify me with visions.

15. So that my soul rather chooseth hanging, and my bones death.

16. I have done with hope, I shall now live no longer: spare me, for my days are nothing.
