Job 7:12 in Context — Job 7

10 No tornará más á su casa, ni su lugar le conocerá más.

11 Por tanto yo no reprimiré mi boca; hablaré en la angustia de mi espíritu, y quejaréme con la amargura de mi alma.

12 ¿Soy yo la mar, ó ballena, que me pongas guarda?

13 Cuando digo: Mi cama me consolará, mi cama atenuará mis quejas;

14 Entonces me quebrantarás con sueños, y me turbarás con visiones.
