job 7

1 - "Isn't a man forced to labor on earth?Aren't his days like the days of a hired hand?
2 - As a servant who earnestly desires the shadow,as a hireling who looks for his wages,
3 - so am I made to possess months of misery,wearisome nights are appointed to me.
4 - When I lie down, I say,'When shall I arise, and the night be gone?'I toss and turn until the dawning of the day.
5 - My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust.My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh.
6 - My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle,and are spent without hope.
7 - Oh remember that my life is a breath.My eye shall no more see good.
8 - The eye of him who sees me shall see me no more.Your eyes shall be on me, but I shall not be.
9 - As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away,so he who goes down to Sheol shall come up no more.
10 - He shall return no more to his house,neither shall his place know him any more.
11 - "Therefore I will not keep silent.I will speak in the anguish of my spirit.I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12 - Am I a sea, or a sea monster,that you put a guard over me?
13 - When I say, 'My bed shall comfort me.My couch shall ease my complaint;'
14 - then you scare me with dreams,and terrify me through visions:
15 - so that my soul chooses strangling,death rather than my bones.
16 - I loathe my life.I don't want to live forever.Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
17 - What is man, that you should magnify him,that you should set your mind on him,
18 - that you should visit him every morning,and test him every moment?
19 - How long will you not look away from me,nor leave me alone until I swallow down my spittle?
20 - If I have sinned, what do I do to you, you watcher of men?Why have you set me as a mark for you,so that I am a burden to myself?
21 - Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity?For now shall I lie down in the dust.You will seek me diligently, but I shall not be."
