Job 7:1-16

[Is there] not an appointed time
<06635>

to man
<0582>

upon earth
<0776>_?

[are not] his days
<03117>

also like the days
<03117>

of an hireling
<07916>_?

{an appointed...: or, a warfare}

As a servant
<05650>

earnestly desireth
<07602> (8799)

the shadow
<06738>_,

and as an hireling
<07916>

looketh
<06960> (8762)

for [the reward of] his work
<06467>_:

{earnestly...: Heb. gapeth after}

So am I made to possess
<05157> (8717)

months
<03391>

of vanity
<07723>_,

and wearisome
<05999>

nights
<03915>

are appointed
<04487> (8765)

to me.

When I lie down
<07901> (8804)_,

I say
<0559> (8804)_,

When shall I arise
<06965> (8799)_,

and the night
<06153>

be gone
<04059>_?

and I am full
<07646> (8804)

of tossings to and fro
<05076>

unto the dawning of the day
<05399>_.

{the night...: Heb. the evening be measured?}

My flesh
<01320>

is clothed
<03847> (8804)

with worms
<07415>

and clods
<01487>

of dust
<06083>_;

my skin
<05785>

is broken
<07280> (8804)_,

and become loathsome
<03988> (8735)_.

My days
<03117>

are swifter
<07043> (8804)

than a weaver's shuttle
<0708>_,

and are spent
<03615> (8799)

without
<0657>

hope
<08615>_.

O remember
<02142> (8798)

that my life
<02416>

[is] wind
<07307>_:

mine eye
<05869>

shall no more
<07725> (8799)

see
<07200> (8800)

good
<02896>_.

{shall...: Heb. shall not return} {see: to see, that is, to enjoy}

The eye
<05869>

of him that hath seen
<07210>

me shall see
<07789> (8799)

me no [more]: thine eyes
<05869>

[are] upon me, and I [am] not. {I am...: that is, I can live no longer}

[As] the cloud
<06051>

is consumed
<03615> (8804)

and vanisheth away
<03212> (8799)_:

so he that goeth down
<03381> (8802)

to the grave
<07585>

shall come up
<05927> (8799)

no [more].

He shall return
<07725> (8799)

no more to his house
<01004>_,

neither shall his place
<04725>

know
<05234> (8686)

him any more.

Therefore I will not refrain
<02820> (8799)

my mouth
<06310>_;

I will speak
<01696> (8762)

in the anguish
<06862>

of my spirit
<07307>_;

I will complain
<07878> (8799)

in the bitterness
<04751>

of my soul
<05315>_.

[Am] I a sea
<03220>_,

or a whale
<08577>_,

that thou settest
<07760> (8799)

a watch
<04929>

over me?

When I say
<0559> (8804)_,

My bed
<06210>

shall comfort
<05162> (8762)

me, my couch
<04904>

shall ease
<05375> (8799)

my complaint
<07879>_;

Then thou scarest
<02865> (8765)

me with dreams
<02472>_,

and terrifiest
<01204> (8762)

me through visions
<02384>_:

So that my soul
<05315>

chooseth
<0977> (8799)

strangling
<04267>_,

[and] death
<04194>

rather than my life
<06106>_.

{life: Heb. bones}

I loathe
<03988> (8804)

[it]; I would not live
<02421> (8799)

alway
<05769>_:

let me alone
<02308> (8798)_;

for my days
<03117>

[are] vanity
<01892>_.
