New Testament

Job 7:10-20 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

10. They don’t come back to their old homes. The people there would not know them.

11. “So I will not be quiet! I will let my suffering spirit speak! I will let my bitter soul complain!

12. Am I one of your enemies? Is that why you put a guard over me?

13. My bed should bring me comfort. My couch should give me rest and relief.

14. But when I lie down, you scare me with dreams; you frighten me with visions.

15. So I would rather be choked to death than to live like this.

16. I hate my life—I give up. I don’t want to live forever. Leave me alone! My life means nothing.

17. God, why are people so important to you? Why do you even notice them?

18. Why do you visit them every morning and test them at every moment?

19. You never look away from me or leave me alone for a second.

20. You are always watching us! If I sinned, would that hurt you? Why have you made me your target? Have I become a problem for you?
