American Standard Version
"Am I a sea, or a sea-monster, That thou settest a watch over me? "
— Job 7:12, American Standard Version
“Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?”
“Am I a sea, or a sea monster, that you put a guard over me?”
“Am I the sea, or the creature of the deep, that you must put me under guard?”
“Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou hast enclosed me in a prison?”
“Am I a sea, or a sea-beast, that you put a watch over me?”
“Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?”
As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away, So he that goeth down to Sheol shall come up no more.
He shall return no more to his house, Neither shall his place know him any more.
Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
Am I a sea, or a sea-monster, That thou settest a watch over me?
When I say, My bed shall comfort me, My couch shall ease my complaint;
Then thou scarest me with dreams, And terrifiest me through visions:
So that my soul chooseth strangling, And death rather than these my bones.
