Job 7:9-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 7
9
When a cloud vanishes, it is gone;
In the same way one who goes down to Sheol does not come up.
10
He will not return to his house again,
Nor will his place know about him anymore.
11
'Therefore I will not restrain 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 sea monster,
That You set a guard over me?
13
If I say, ‘My couch will comfort me,
My bed will ease my complaint,’
14
Then You frighten me with dreams,
And terrify me by visions,
15
So that my soul would choose suffocation,
Death rather than my pains.
16
I waste away; I will not live forever.
Leave me alone, for my days are
only
a breath.
King James Version
Chapter 7
9
As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.
10
He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place 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 a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?
13
When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;
14
Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:
15
So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life.
16
I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 7
9
As a cloud fades away and vanishes,
so the one who goes down to Sheol will never rise again.
10
He will never return to his house;
his hometown will no longer remember him.
11
Therefore I will not restrain 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 a sea monster,
that you keep me under guard?
13
When I say, "My bed will comfort me,
and my couch will ease my complaint,"
14
then you frighten me with dreams,
and terrify me with visions,
15
so that I prefer strangling —
death rather than life in this body.
16
I give up! I will not live forever.
Leave me alone, for my days are a breath.
New Living Translation
Chapter 7
9
Just as a cloud dissipates and vanishes,
those who die will not come back.
10
They are gone forever from their home —
never to be seen again.
11
'I cannot keep from speaking.
I must express my anguish.
My bitter soul must complain.
12
Am I a sea monster or a dragon
that you must place me under guard?
13
I think, ‘My bed will comfort me,
and sleep will ease my misery,’
14
but then you shatter me with dreams
and terrify me with visions.
15
I would rather be strangled —
rather die than suffer like this.
16
I hate my life and don’t want to go on living.
Oh, leave me alone for my few remaining days.
English Standard Version
Chapter 7
9
As the cloud fades and vanishes,
so he who goes down to Sheol does not come up;
10
he returns no more to his house,
nor does his place know him anymore.
11
"Therefore I will not restrain 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 a sea monster,
that you set a guard over me?
13
When 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 choose strangling
and death rather than my bones.
16
I loathe my life; I would not live forever.
Leave me alone, for my days are a breath.
New International Version
Chapter 7
9
As a cloud vanishes and is gone,
so one who goes down to the grave does not return.
10
He will never come to his house again;
his place will know him no more.
11
"Therefore I will not keep silent;
I will speak out in the anguish of my spirit,
I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12
Am I the sea, or the monster of the deep,
that you put me under guard?
13
When I think my bed will comfort me
and my couch will ease my complaint,
14
even then you frighten me with dreams
and terrify me with visions,
15
so that I prefer strangling and death,
rather than this body of mine.
16
I despise my life; I would not live forever.
Let me alone; my days have no meaning.
New King James Version
Chapter 7
9
As
the cloud disappears and vanishes away,
So he who goes down to the grave does not come up.
10
He shall never return to his house,
Nor shall his place know him anymore.
11
“Therefore I will not restrain my mouth;
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;
I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12
Am
I a sea, or a sea serpent,
That You set a guard over me?
13
When 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 my soul chooses strangling
And
death rather than my body.
16
I loathe
my life;
I would not live forever.
Let me alone,
For my days
are but
a breath.
