Job 7:16 Context
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? 18And that thou shouldest visite him euery morning, and trie him euery moment?
