Job 7:11

Job heaps image upon image to set before himself and the eye of God the brevity of life, the weaver's shuttle (Job 7:6), the wind (Job 7:7), the morning cloud (Job 7:9; Hosea 6:4), ending with a pathetic reference to his home which shall see him no more (Job 7:10). These regrets altogether overmaster him and, combining with his sense of the wrong which he suffers and his impatience of the iron restraints of human existence, hurry him forward, and he resolves to open the floodgates to the full stream of his complaint (Job 7:11): Therefore I will not refrain my mouth, i. e. therefore I also, I on my side, will not refrain.
