15 That my soule wisheth rather to perishe and die, then my bones to remayne. 16 I can see no remedy, I shall liue no more: O spare me then, for my dayes are but vanitie. 17 What is man that thou doest magnifie him? and that thou settest thy heart vpon him? 18 Thou visitest him early and euery day, euery moment doest thou trie him. 19 Why goest thou not fro me, nor lettest me alone, so long till I may swalowe downe my spyttle? 20 I haue offended, what shall I do vnto the, O thou preseruer of men? Why hast thou set me as a marke against thee, so that I am a burden to my selfe? 21 Why doest thou not pardon my trespasses, and take away myne iniquitie? Behold, nowe must I sleepe in the dust, and if thou sekest me to morowe in the morning, I shal not be. Job 7:15-21, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
