"so that my soul chooses strangling, death rather than my bones."
— Job 7:15, World English 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 I would prefer strangling, and death more than life.”
“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 a sea, or a sea monster, that you put a guard over me?
When I say, 'My bed shall comfort me. My couch shall ease my complaint;'
then you scare me with dreams, and terrify me through visions:
so that my soul chooses strangling, death rather than my bones.
I loathe my life. I don't want to live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
What is man, that you should magnify him, that you should set your mind on him,
that you should visit him every morning, and test him every moment?
