'Choose' in the Bible

So that my soul would choose suffocation,Death rather than my pains.

If he shall choose to strive with him, he cannot answer him one thing of a thousand.

How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?

Your iniquity teaches you what to say,and you choose the language of the crafty.

I choose their way, and sit head, And I dwell as a king in a troop, When mourners he doth comfort.

Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.

Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
