"I loathe my life. I don't want to live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath."
— Job 7:16, World English Bible
“I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.”
“I loathe my life; I would not live alway: Let me alone; for my days are vanity. ”
“I loathe it; I do not want to live forever; leave me alone, for my days are a vapor!”
“I have done with hope, I shall now live no longer: spare me, for my days are nothing.”
“I have no desire for life, I would not be living for ever! Keep away from me, for my days are as a breath.”
“I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.”
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?
How long will you not look away from me, nor leave me alone until I swallow down my spittle?
