New Testament

Job 7:8-15 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

8. Those who see me now will never see me again. You watch me for a while, but then I am gone.

9. Just as clouds that come and go, people are put in the grave, never to rise again.

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.
