16I loathe it; I would not live always: let me alone; for my days are vanity.


In Context

13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaints;

14 Then you scare me with dreams, and terrify me through visions:

15 So that my soul chooses strangling, and death rather than my life.

16 I loathe it; I would not live always: let me alone; for my days are vanity.

17 What is man, that you should magnify him? and that you should set your heart on him?

18 And that you should visit him every morning, and try him every moment?
