7Job 7

1Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?Select Job 7:1

2As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:Select Job 7:2

3So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.Select Job 7:3

4When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.Select Job 7:4

5My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.Select Job 7:5

6My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.Select Job 7:6

7O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.Select Job 7:7

8The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.Select Job 7:8

9As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.Select Job 7:9

10He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.Select Job 7:10

11Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.Select Job 7:11

12Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?Select Job 7:12

13When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;Select Job 7:13

14Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:Select Job 7:14

15So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life.Select Job 7:15

16I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.Select Job 7:16

17What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?Select Job 7:17

18And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?Select Job 7:18

19How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?Select Job 7:19

20I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?Select Job 7:20

21And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.Select Job 7:21
