Job's miserable suffering 7:1-6

"The rest of Job's speech is more like a soliloquy which turns into a remonstration against God Himself. His theme is once more the hard servicethat men have upon earth."⁴⁷

In this complaint (cf. ch. 3; 6:8-13) Job compared himself to a slave or hired servant and concluded that he was in a worse condition. In verse 6 one Hebrew word occurs twice and reads first "shuttle"and then "hope."Job had run out of hope as a weaver's shuttle runs out of thread.
