Job 7:10-16 New English Translation (NET)

10. He returns no more to his house,nor does his place of residence know him any more.

11. “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.

12. Am I the sea, or the creature of the deep,that you must put me under guard?

13. If I say, “My bed will comfort me,my couch will ease my complaint,”

14. then you scare me with dreamsand terrify me with visions,

15. so that I would prefer strangling,and death more than life.

16. I loathe it; I do not want to live forever;leave me alone, for my days are a vapor!
