Job 7:7-21 - Don'T Forget!

⁷ Remember that my life is but a breath, that my eyes will never again see happiness. ⁸ The eye of him who sees me now will see me no more; your eyes will look for me, but I will be gone. ⁹ As a cloud is dispersed and then disappears, so the one who goes down to the grave does not come up again. 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 dreams and 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!

¹⁷ "What is mankind that you make so much of them, and that you pay attention to them? ¹⁸ And that you visit them every morning, and try them every moment? ¹⁹ Will you never look away from me, will you not let me alone long enough to swallow my spittle? ²⁰ If I have sinned -- what have I done to you, O watcher of men? Why have you set me as your target? Have I become a burden to you? ²¹ And why do you not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? For now I will lie down in the dust, and you will seek me diligently, but I will be gone."
