Job 7:15 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

So that my soul chooseth strangling The most violent death, so it be but certain and sudden, rather than such a wretched life. Hebrews מעצמותי, megnatsmothai, rather than my bones That is, than my body, the skin of which was everywhere broken, and the flesh almost consumed, so that little remained but bones.
