'Chooseth' in the Bible

So that my soul chooseth strangling, death, rather than my bones.

He that is impoverished, so that he hath no offering, chooseth a tree that doth not rot; he seeketh unto him a skilled workman to prepare a graven image that shall not be moved.

Behold, ye are less than nothing, and your work is of nought; an abomination is he that chooseth you. ...

When he heweth him down cedars, he taketh also a holm-oak and a terebinth he chooseth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth a pine, and the rain maketh it grow.
