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 I would choose stranglingand death rather than my bones.
16 I loathe my life; I would not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are a breath.
17 What is man, that you make so much of him,and that you set your heart on him,
18 visit him every morningand test him every moment?
