007:014 then you scare me with dreams, and terrify me through visions: 007:015 so that my soul chooses strangling, death rather than my bones. 007:016 I loathe my life. I don't want to live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath. 007:017 What is man, that you should magnify him, that you should set your mind on him, 007:018 that you should visit him every morning, and test him every moment? 007:019 How long will you not look away from me, nor leave me alone until I swallow down my spittle? 007:020 If I have sinned, what do I do to you, you watcher of men? Why have you set me as a mark for you, so that I am a burden to myself? 007:021 Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity? For now shall I lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I shall not be." 008:001 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered, 008:002 "How long will you speak these things? Shall the words of your mouth be a mighty wind? 008:003 Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness? 008:004 If your children have sinned against him, He has delivered them into the hand of their disobedience. 008:005 If you want to seek God diligently, make your supplication to the Almighty. 008:006 If you were pure and upright, surely now he would awaken for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous. 008:007 Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would greatly increase. 008:008 "Please inquire of past generations.
