Job 7:1-10

1“Is notH3808 manH582 consigned to laborH6635 onH5921 earthH776? Are not his daysH3117 like thoseH3117 of a hired handH7916?2Like a slaveH5650 he longs forH7602 shadeH6738; like a hirelingH7916 he waits forH6960 his wagesH6467.3SoH3651 I am allottedH5157 monthsH3391 of futilityH7723, and nightsH3915 of miseryH5999 are appointedH4487 to me.4WhenH518 I lie downH7901 I thinkH559: ‘WhenH4970 will I get upH6965?’ But the nightH6153 drags onH4058, and I toss and turnH7646H5076 untilH5704 dawnH5399.5My fleshH1320 is clothedH3847 with wormsH7415 and encrustedH1487 with dirtH6083; my skinH5785 is crackedH7280 and festeringH3988.6My daysH3117 are swifterH7043 thanH4480 a weaver’s shuttleH708; they come to an endH3615 withoutH657 hopeH8615.

7RememberH2142 thatH3588 my lifeH2416 is but a breathH7307.My eyesH5869 will neverH3808 againH7725 seeH7200 happinessH2896.8The eyeH5869 that beholds meH7210 will noH3808 longer see meH7789.You will lookH5869 for me, but I will be no moreH369.9As a cloudH6051 vanishesH3615 and is goneH1980,soH3651 he who goes downH3381 to SheolH7585 does notH3808 come back upH5927.10He neverH3808H5750 returnsH7725 to his houseH1004;his placeH4725 remembers himH5234 no moreH5750.
