Job 7

¹“Is there not warfare to man on earth? And his days as the days of a hired worker?

²As a servant desires the shadow, And as a hired worker expects his wage,

³So I have been caused to inherit months of vanity, And they numbered nights of misery to me.

⁴If I lay down, then I have said, When do I rise, And evening has been measured? And I have been full of tossings until dawn.

⁵My flesh has been clothed with worms, And a clod of dust, My skin has been shriveled and is loathsome,

⁶My days swifter than a loom, And they are consumed without hope.

⁷Remember that my life is a breath, My eye does not turn back to see good.

⁸The eye of my beholder does not behold me. Your eyes are on me—and I am not.

⁹A cloud has been consumed, and it goes, So he who is going down to Sheol does not come up.

¹⁰He does not turn to his house again, Nor does his place discern him again.

¹¹Also I do not withhold my mouth—I speak in the distress of my spirit, I talk in the bitterness of my soul.

¹²Am I a sea monster, or a dragon, That You set a watch over me?

¹³When I said, My bed comforts me, In my talking He takes away my couch.

¹⁴And You have frightened me with dreams, And You terrify me from visions,

¹⁵And my soul chooses strangling, Death rather than my bones.

¹⁶I have wasted away—I do not live for all time. Cease from me, for my days are vanity.

¹⁷What is man that You magnify him? And that You set Your heart to him?

¹⁸And inspect him in the mornings, And in the evenings try him?

¹⁹How long do You not look from me? You do not desist until I swallow my spittle.

²⁰I have sinned, what do I do to You, O watcher of man? Why have You set me for a mark to You, And I am for a burden to myself—and what?

²¹You do not take away my transgression, And do not cause my iniquity to pass away, Because now, I lie down in dust, And You have sought me—and I am not!”
