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

¹² Am I [the] sea, or a sea monster, that you set a guard over me? ¹³ When I say, 'My bed will comfort me, and my couch will ease my complaint,' ¹⁴ then you terrify me with dreams, and with visions you terrify me. ¹⁵ So my inner self will choose strangling-- death more than my {existence}. ¹⁶ I loathe [my life]; I would not live forever; depart from me, for my days [are] a breath.

¹⁷ "What [is] a human being that you make him great and that {you fix your mind on him}, ¹⁸ so that you visit him {every morning}, you test him {every moment}? ¹⁹ {How long} will you not turn away from me? [Or] not leave me alone until I swallow my spit? ²⁰ [If] I have sinned, what have I done to you, watcher of humanity? Why have you made me as a target for yourself, so that I have become a burden to myself? ²¹ And why do you not pardon my transgression and take away my guilt? For now I shall lie in the dust, and you will seek me, but {I will be no more}."
