Job 7:11-16
“ So I won’t keep quiet. When I’m suffering greatly, I’ll speak out. When my spirit is bitter, I’ll tell you how unhappy I am.Am I the ocean? Am I the sea monster? If I’m not, why do you guard me so closely?Sometimes I think my bed will comfort me. I think my couch will keep me from being unhappy.But even then you send me dreams that frighten me. You send me visions that terrify me.So I would rather choke to death. That would be better than living in this body of mine.I hate my life. I don’t want to live forever. Leave me alone. My days don’t mean anything to me.

Psalms 22:14-15
My strength is like water that is poured out on the ground. I feel as if my bones aren’t connected. My heart has turned to wax. It has melted away inside me.My mouth is dried up like a piece of broken pottery. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You bring me down to the edge of the grave.

Job 17:11-16
My life is almost over. My plans are destroyed. Yet the desires of my heartturn night into day. Even though it’s dark,‘ Light is nearby.’Suppose the only home I can hope for is a grave. And suppose I make my bed in the darkness of death.Suppose I say to the grave,‘ You are like a father to me.’ And suppose I say to its worms,‘ You are like a mother or sister to me.’Then what hope do I have? Who can give me any hope?Will hope go down to the gates of death with me? Will we go down together into the dust of the grave?”
