Job 7:17 in Context — Job 7

15 Por isso minha alma preferia a asfixia [e] a morte, mais que meus ossos.

16 Odeio [a minha vida] ; não viverei para sempre; deixa-me, pois que meus dias são inúteis.

17 O que é o ser humano, para que tanto o estimes, e ponhas sobre ele teu coração,

18 E o visites a cada manhã, e a cada momento o proves?

19 Até quando não me deixarás, nem me liberarás até que eu engula minha saliva?
