"so that I would prefer strangling, and death more than life."
— Job 7:15, NET Bible
“So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life.”
“So that my soul chooseth strangling, And death rather than these my bones. ”
“so that my soul chooses strangling, death rather than my bones.”
“So that my soul rather chooseth hanging, and my bones death.”
“So that a hard death seems better to my soul than my pains.”
“So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life.”
Am I the sea, or the creature of the deep, that you must put me under guard?
If I say,“My bed will comfort me, my couch will ease my complaint,”
then you scare me with dreams and terrify me with visions,
so that I would prefer strangling, and death more than life.
I loathe it; I do not want to live forever; leave me alone, for my days are a vapor!
