New American Standard Bible
"So that my soul would choose suffocation, Death rather than my pains."
— job 7:15, New American Standard Bible
"Am I the sea, or the sea monster, That You set a guard over me?
"If I say, 'My bed will comfort me, My couch will ease my complaint,'
Then You frighten me with dreams And terrify me by visions;
So that my soul would choose suffocation, Death rather than my pains.
"I waste away; I will not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
"What is man that You magnify him, And that You are concerned about him,
That You examine him every morning And try him every moment?
