Job 7:13

“When I say, 'My bed shall comfort me. My couch shall ease my complaint;”

Verse in context — Job 7

Therefore I will not keep silent. 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 you put a guard over me?

When I say, 'My bed shall comfort me. My couch shall ease my complaint;

then you scare me with dreams, and terrify me through visions:

so that my soul chooses strangling, death rather than my bones.

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
