job 7:12 Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me? - Free Bible Online

job 7:12 "Am I the sea, or the sea monster, That Thou dost set a guard over me?


      12. Why dost thou deny me the comfort of care-assuaging sleep? Why scarest thou me with frightful dreams?
      Am I a sea--regarded in Old Testament poetry as a violent rebel against God, the Lord of nature, who therefore curbs his violence (Jer 5:22).
      or a whale--or some other sea monster (Isa 27:1), that Thou needest thus to watch and curb me? The Egyptians watched the crocodile most carefully to prevent its doing mischief.
