Job 7:17

English Standard Version 2016

What is man, that you make so much of him, and that you set your heart on him,

See the chapter Copy

It has been testified somewhere, “What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the son of man, that you care for him?

what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?

O Lord, what is man that you regard him, or the son of man that you think of him?

Am I the sea, or a sea monster, that you set a guard over me?

After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom do you pursue? After a dead dog! After a flea!

“Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.

how much less man, who is a maggot, and the son of man, who is a worm!”

And do you open your eyes on such a one and bring me into judgment with you?

Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.
