Job 7:14-21

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

14Then You frighten me with dreams,
And terrify me by visions,
15So that my soul would choose suffocation,
Death rather than my pains.
16“I waste away; I will not live forever.
Leave me alone, for my days are only a breath.
17“What is man that You exalt him,
And that You are concerned about him,
18That You examine him every morning
And put him to the test every moment?
19“Will You never turn Your gaze away from me,
Nor leave me alone until I swallow my spittle?
20“Have I sinned? What have I done to You,
Watcher of mankind?
Why have You made me Your target,
So that I am a burden to myself?
21“Why then do You not forgive my wrongdoing
And take away my guilt?
For now I will lie down in the dust;
And You will search for me, but I will no longer exist.”
