Job 7:10-18 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

10. Never will I return home;soon I will be forgotten.

11. And so, I cry out to youin agony and distress.

12. Am I the sea or a sea monster?Is that why you imprison me?

13. I go to bed, hoping for rest,

14. but you torture mewith terrible dreams.

15-16. I'd rather choke to deaththan live in this body.Leave me alone and let me die;my life has no meaning.

17. What makes you so concernedabout us humans?

18. Why do you test usfrom sunrise to sunset?
