Job 7:17 Context
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? 19How long wilt thou not depart from me? nor let me alone till I swallow downe my spittle?

Wesley's Notes for Job 7:17
7:17 What, &c. - What is there in that poor, mean, creature called man, miserable man, as this word signifies, which can induce thee to take any notice of him, or to make such account of him? Man is not worthy of thy favour, and he is below thy anger; that thou shouldest concern thyself so much about him, as one near and dear to thee?
