Job 7:12-14
Contemporary English Version

12 Am I the sea or a sea monster?
    Is that why you imprison me?[a]
13 I go to bed, hoping for rest,
14 but you torture me
    with terrible dreams.

Footnotes

  1. 7.12 sea monster … imprison me: “Sea monster” translates the Hebrew word “Tannin,” which was possibly a sea monster similar to Leviathan (3.8), Rahab (9.13), and Behemoth (40.15). According to 38.8-11, God makes the sea his prisoner by setting its boundaries.
