Job7:11
11. Therefore I will not refrain my mouth▪ I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul .
Since my life is by the common condition of mankind so vain and short, and when once lost, without all hopes of recovery, and withal extremely miserable, I will plead with God for pity and relief before I die; knowing that I must now speak, or else for ever after hold my peace as to requests of this nature.
I will not smother my bitter anguish within my own breast, which will make it intollerable, but I will give it vent, and ease my self by pouring forth complaints, and expostulating with my God, who, as I hope, will hear and help me one way or other.
