chapter_Job_7
Job 7:1: Is there not a warfare to man on earth? And as the days of an hireling his days? Job 7:2: As a servant desireth the shadow, And as a hireling expecteth his wage, Job 7:3: So I have been caused to inherit months of vanity, And nights of misery they numbered to me. Job 7:4: If I lay down then I said, 'When do I rise!' And evening hath been measured, And I have been full of tossings till dawn. Job 7:5: Clothed hath been my flesh with worms, And a clod of dust, My skin hath been shrivelled and is loathsome, Job 7:6: My days swifter than a weaving machine, And they are consumed without hope. Job 7:7: Remember Thou that my life is a breath, Mine eye turneth not back to see good. Job 7:8: The eye of my beholder beholdeth me not. Thine eyes are upon me &#8212; and I am not. Job 7:9: Consumed hath been a cloud, and it goeth, So he who is going down to Sheol cometh not up. Job 7:10: He turneth not again to his house, Nor doth his place discern him again. Job 7:11: Also I &#8212; I withhold not my mouth &#8212; I speak in the distress of my spirit, I talk in the bitterness of my soul. Job 7:12: A sea -monster am I, or a dragon, That thou settest over me a guard? Job 7:13: When I said, 'My bed doth comfort me,' He taketh away in my talking my couch. Job 7:14: And thou hast affrighted me with dreams, And from visions thou terrifiest me, Job 7:15: And my soul chooseth strangling, Death rather than my bones. Job 7:16: I have wasted away &#8212; not to the age do I live. Cease from me, for my days are vanity. Job 7:17: What is man that Thou dost magnify him? And that Thou settest unto him Thy heart? Job 7:18: And inspectest him in the mornings, In the evenings dost try him? Job 7:19: How long dost Thou not look from me? Thou dost not desist till I swallow my spittle. Job 7:20: I have sinned, what do I to Thee, O watcher of man? Why hast Thou set me for a mark to Thee, And I am for a burden to myself &#8212; and what? Job 7:21: Thou dost not take away my transgression, And cause to pass away mine iniquity, Because now, for dust I lie down: And Thou hast sought me &#8212; and I am not!
