Job 7:15 Context
13When I say, My bed shal comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint: 14Then thou skarest mee with dreames, and terrifiest me through visions. 15So that my soule chooseth strangling: and death rather then my life. 16I loath it, I would not liue alway: let me alone, for my dayes are vanitie. 17What is man, that thou shouldest magnifie him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart vpon him?
