King James Version
"Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?"
— Job 7:12, King James Version
“Am I a sea, or a sea-monster, 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 the grave 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 whale, 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 my life.
