◀ Job 7:15Job 7:17 ▶

I loathe my life. I don’t want to live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.

Context

13When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me. My couch will ease my complaint;’
14then you scare me with dreams, and terrify me through visions:
15so that my soul chooses strangling, death rather than my bones.
16I loathe my life. I don’t want to live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
17What is man, that you should magnify him, that you should set your mind on him,
18that you should visit him every morning, and test him every moment?
19How long will you not look away from me, nor leave me alone until I swallow down my spittle?
