Job 7:8-14 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

8. Those who see me now will see me no more.You will look for me, but I will be gone.

9. A cloud disappears and is gone.In the same way, a person who goes where the dead are does not return.

10. He will never come back to his house again.His place will not know him anymore.

11. “So I will not stay quiet.I will speak out in the suffering of my spirit.I will complain because I am so unhappy.

12. I am not the sea or the sea monster.So why have you set a guard over me?

13. Sometimes I think my bed will comfort me.Or I think my couch will stop my complaint.

14. Then you frighten me with dreams.You terrify me with visions.
