Job 7:17

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

Verse in context — Job 7

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,

that you should visit him every morning, and test him every moment?

How long will you not look away from me, nor leave me alone until I swallow down my spittle?

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