Job 7:12-21 - Job Says To God: Leave Me Alone

¹² Am I the sea, or a sea monster, that you keep watching me? ¹³ For I've said, "My bed will comfort me; my couch will ease my burdens while I complain.' ¹⁴ But then you scared me with dreams; you terrified me with visions. ¹⁵ I would rather die by strangulation than continue living. ¹⁶ I hate the thought of living forever! Leave me alone, because my days are pointless."

¹⁷ "What is a human being, that you make so much of him; that you set your affections on him, ¹⁸ visit him every morning, and test him continually? ¹⁹ Why won't you look away from me? Why don't you leave me alone so I can swallow my saliva? ²⁰ So what if I sin? What have I done against you, you observer of humankind? Why have you made me your target? Why burden yourself with me? ²¹ Why haven't you pardoned my transgression and taken away my iniquity? Now I'm about to lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I won't be around!"
