Job 7:14
12 Am I the sea, or the monster of the deep, that You must keep me under guard?
13 When I think my bed will comfort me and my couch will ease my complaint,
then You frighten me with dreams and terrify me with visions,
15 so that I would prefer strangling and death over my life in this body.
16 I loathe my life! I would not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
