New Testament

Job 7:7-16 Modern English Version (MEV)

7. Oh, remember that my life is a breath!My eye will never again see good.

8. The eye of him who sees me will behold me no more;your eyes will be on me, but I will be no more.

9. As the cloud disappears and vanishes away,so he who goes down to Sheol will come up no more.

10. He will never return to his house,and his place will not recognize 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 dreamsand terrify me with visions,

15. so that my soul chooses strangling,even death rather than my life.

16. I loathe my life; I would not live forever;let me alone, for my days are emptiness.
