Job 7:16 in context

  1. 14then you scare me with dreams,
    and terrify me through visions:
  2. 15so that my soul chooses strangling,
    death rather than my bones.
  3. 16I loathe my life.
    I don’t want to live forever.
    Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
  4. 17What is man, that you should magnify him,
    that you should set your mind on him,
  5. 18that you should visit him every morning,
    and test him every moment?
