Bible verse
When I think my bed will comfort me and my couch will ease my complaint,
Job 7:13 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 7.
9 As a cloud vanishes and is gone, so he who goes down to Sheol does not come back up.
10 He never returns to his house; his place remembers him no more.
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 the monster of the deep, that You must keep me under guard?
13 When I think my bed will comfort me and my couch will ease my complaint,
14 then You frighten me with dreams and terrify me with visions,
15 so that I would prefer strangling and death over my life in this body.
16 I loathe my life! I would not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
17 What is man that You should exalt him, that You should set Your heart upon him,
