Job 7:19 Context
17What is man, that thou shouldest magnifie him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart vpon him? 18And that thou shouldest visite him euery morning, and trie him euery moment? 19How long wilt thou not depart from me? nor let me alone till I swallow downe my spittle? 20I haue sinned, what shall I doe vnto thee, O thou preseruer of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to my selfe? 21And why doest thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquitie? for now shall I sleepe in the dust, and thou shalt seeke me in the morning, but I shall not be.
