In context
9 As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol will come up no more.
10 He will return no more to his house, neither will his place know him any more.
11 “Therefore I will not keep silent. I will speak in the anguish of my spirit. I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12 Am I a sea, or a sea monster, that you put a guard over me?
13 When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me. My couch will ease my complaint,’
14 then you scare me with dreams and terrify me through visions,
15 so that my soul chooses strangling, death rather than my bones.
