Job 7:15

“so that my soul chooses strangling, death rather than my bones.”

Verse in context — Job 7

When I say, 'My bed shall comfort me. My couch shall ease my complaint;

then you scare me with dreams, and terrify me through visions:

so that my soul chooses strangling, death rather than my bones.

I loathe my life. I don't want to live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.

What is man, that you should magnify him, that you should set your mind on him,

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