Job 7:8-16

1. 8 The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.

2. 9 As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.

3. 10 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.

4. 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.

5. 12 Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?

6. 13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;

7. 14 Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:

8. 15 So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life.

9. 16 I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.
