Job 13:13

“Be silent before me so that I may speak;
Then let come on me what may.

“O that you would be completely silent,
And that it would become your wisdom!

“Would that God were willing to crush me,
That He would loose His hand and cut me off!

“Therefore I will not restrain my mouth;
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit,
I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

So that my soul would choose suffocation,
Death rather than my pains.

“I loathe my own life;
I will give full vent to my complaint;
I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

“Bear with me that I may speak;
Then after I have spoken, you may mock.
