Job 7:11-16

¹¹Therefore I will not restrain my mouth;

I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;

I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

¹²Am I the sea, or the monster of the deep,

that You must keep me under guard?

¹³When I think my bed will comfort me

and my couch will ease my complaint,

¹⁴then You frighten me with dreams

and terrify me with visions,

¹⁵so that I would prefer strangling and death

over my life in this body.

¹⁶I loathe my life! I would not live forever.

Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.

— Job 7:11-16
