King James Version (KJV)

Job 7:16

“I loathe [it]; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days [are] vanity.”

Verse in context — Job 7

Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:

So that my soul chooseth strangling, [and] death rather than my life.

I loathe [it]; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days [are] vanity.

What [is] man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?

And [that] thou shouldest visit him every morning, [and] try him every moment?

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
