Job 7:15 - John Wesley's Notes

Job 7:15

Compare all

13 ^aWhen I say, ‘My bed will comfort me,
My couch will ease my complaint,’

14 Then You scare me with dreams
And terrify me with visions,

15 So that my soul chooses strangling
And death rather than¹ my body.

16 ^aI loathe my life;
I would not live forever.
^bLet me alone,
For ^cmy days are but a breath.

17 “What^a is man, that You should exalt him,
That You should set Your heart on him,

18 That You should¹ visit him every morning,
And test him every moment?

19 How long?
Will You not look away from me,
And let me alone till I swallow my saliva?

20 Have I sinned?
What have I done to You, ^aO watcher of men?
Why ^bhave You set me as Your target,
So that I am a burden¹ to myself?

21 Why then do You not pardon my transgression,
And take away my iniquity?
For now I will lie down in the dust,
And You will seek me diligently,
But I will no longer be.”
