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


In Context

12 Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?

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

14 Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:

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

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

17 What is man, that thou shouldst magnify him? and that thou shouldst set thy heart upon him?
