Job|7:1|-|Does not man have a term of hard service on earth?And are his |a|days not like the days of a hired hand?
Job|7:2|-|Like a servant who longs for the shade,And like a hired hand who waits for his pay,
Job|7:3|-|So I am made to inherit months of vanity,And nights of trouble are appointed to me.
Job|7:4|-|If I lie down, I say,When will I arise? But the evening is long,
And I am full of tossings until the dawn.
Job|7:5|-|My flesh is clothed with worms and dirt clods;My skin crusts and then oozes again.
Job|7:6|-|My |a|days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttleAnd are spent |1|without hope.
Job|7:7|-|Remember that my life is a |a|breath;My eye will not see good again.
Job|7:8|-|The eye of him who sees me will not look on me;Your eyes will be on me, but I will not be.
Job|7:9|-|The cloud is consumed and |a|goes away:Likewise he who goes down into |b|Sheol does not come up.
Job|7:10|-|He |a|returns no more to his house,Nor does his place know him anymore.
Job|7:11|-|For my part, I also will not restrain my mouth;I will speak in the distress of my spirit;
I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
Job|7:12|-|Am I the sea, or a sea serpent,That You must set a watch over me?
Job|7:13|-|When I say, My bed will comfort me,My couch will bear up my complaint;
Job|7:14|-|Then You scare me with dreamsAnd terrify me with visions,
Job|7:15|-|So that my soul would choose strangulationAnd death rather than my bones.
Job|7:16|-|I |1|loathe life; I would not live forever.Leave me alone, for my days are a mere breath.
Job|7:17|-||a|What is |b|mortal man that You magnify him,And that You consider him,
Job|7:18|-|And that You visit him every morning,You try him every moment?
Job|7:19|-|How long before You look away from me,Before You abandon me until I swallow my spittle?
Job|7:20|-|If I have sinned, what have I done to You, O Watcher of man?Why have You made me Your target so that I have become a burden to You?
Job|7:21|-|And why do You not forgive my transgressionAnd take away my iniquity?
For now I may lie down in the |a|dust;And You will seek me out, and I will not be.
