Job 7:12-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 7
12Am I the sea, or the sea monster, That You set a guard over me? 13If I say, ‘My couch will comfort me, My bed will ease my complaint,’ 14Then You frighten me with dreams, And terrify me by visions, 15So that my soul would choose suffocation, Death rather than my pains. 16I waste away; I will not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are only a breath.King James Version
Chapter 7
12Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me? 13When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint; 14Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions: 15So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life. 16I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.Christian Standard Bible
New Living Translation
Chapter 7
12Am I a sea monster or a dragon that you must place me under guard? 13I think, ‘My bed will comfort me, and sleep will ease my misery,’ 14but then you shatter me with dreams and terrify me with visions. 15I would rather be strangled — rather die than suffer like this. 16I hate my life and don’t want to go on living. Oh, leave me alone for my few remaining days.English Standard Version

Leave me alone, for my days are a breath.New International Version
