Job 7:17
Compare all
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 “Whata 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.”
