Job 9:18

He does not allow me to recover my breath, for he fills me with bitterness.

Will you never look away from me, will you not let me alone long enough to swallow my spittle?

"Why does God give light to one who is in misery, and life to those whose soul is bitter,

"As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice, the Almighty, who has made my life bitter --

Turn your angry gaze away from me, so I can be happy before I pass away.

Your anger bears down on me, and you overwhelm me with all your waves. (Selah)

I am oppressed and have been on the verge of death since my youth. I have been subjected to your horrors and am numb with pain.

He repeatedly attacks me, he turns his hand against me all day long.

He has given me my fill of bitter herbs and made me drunk with bitterness.

So I said, "My endurance has expired; I have lost all hope of deliverance from the Lord."

Now all discipline seems painful at the time, not joyful. But later it produces the fruit of peace and righteousness for those trained by it.
