Job 7:1-21

7:1

[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}

7:2

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}

7:3

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

months
<03391>

of vanity
<07723>_,

and wearisome
<05999>

nights
<03915>

are appointed
<04487> (8765)

to me.

7:4

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?}

7:5

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)_.

7:6

My days
<03117>

are swifter
<07043> (8804)

than a weaver's shuttle
<0708>_,

and are spent
<03615> (8799)

without
<0657>

hope
<08615>_.

7:7

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}

7:8

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}

7:9

[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].

7:10

He shall return
<07725> (8799)

no more to his house
<01004>_,

neither shall his place
<04725>

know
<05234> (8686)

him any more.

7:11

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>_.

7:12

[Am] I a sea
<03220>_,

or a whale
<08577>_,

that thou settest
<07760> (8799)

a watch
<04929>

over me?

7:13

When I say
<0559> (8804)_,

My bed
<06210>

shall comfort
<05162> (8762)

me, my couch
<04904>

shall ease
<05375> (8799)

my complaint
<07879>_;

7:14

Then thou scarest
<02865> (8765)

me with dreams
<02472>_,

and terrifiest
<01204> (8762)

me through visions
<02384>_:

7:15

So that my soul
<05315>

chooseth
<0977> (8799)

strangling
<04267>_,

[and] death
<04194>

rather than my life
<06106>_.

{life: Heb. bones}

7:16

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>_.

7:17

What [is] man
<0582>_,

that thou shouldest magnify
<01431> (8762)

him? and that thou shouldest set
<07896> (8799)

thine heart
<03820>

upon him?

7:18

And [that] thou shouldest visit
<06485> (8799)

him every morning
<01242>_,

[and] try
<0974> (8799)

him every moment
<07281>_?

7:19

How long
<04100>

wilt thou not depart
<08159> (8799)

from me, nor let me alone
<07503> (8686)

till I swallow down
<01104> (8800)

my spittle
<07536>_?

7:20

I have sinned
<02398> (8804)_;

what shall I do
<06466> (8799)

unto thee, O thou preserver
<05341> (8802)

of men
<0120>_?

why hast thou set
<07760> (8804)

me as a mark
<04645>

against thee, so that I am a burden
<04853>

to myself?

7:21

And why dost thou not pardon
<05375> (8799)

my transgression
<06588>_,

and take away
<05674> (8686)

mine iniquity
<05771>_?

for now shall I sleep
<07901> (8799)

in the dust
<06083>_;

and thou shalt seek me in the morning
<07836> (8765)_,

but I [shall] not [be].
