Bible verse
I loathe my life! I would not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
Job 7:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 7.
12 Am I the sea, or the monster of the deep, that You must keep me under guard?
13 When I think my bed will comfort me and my couch will ease my complaint,
14 then You frighten me with dreams and terrify me with visions,
15 so that I would prefer strangling and death over my life in this body.
16 I loathe my life! I would not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
17 What is man that You should exalt him, that You should set Your heart upon him,
18 that You attend to him every morning, and test him every moment?
19 Will You never look away from me, or leave me alone to swallow my spittle?
20 If I have sinned, what have I done to You, O watcher of mankind? Why have You made me Your target, so that I am a burden to You?
