Job 7

1Hath not man a life of labour upon earthH776? and are not his daysH3117 like the daysH3117 of a hireling? 2As a bondman earnestly desireth the shadowH6738, and a hireling expecteth his wagesH6467, 3SoH3651 am I made to possessH5157 monthsH3391 of vanityH7723, and wearisome nightsH3915 are appointedH4487 to me. 4If I lieH7901 down, I sayH559, When shall I riseH6965 up, and the darkness be gone? and I am full of tossings until the dawn. 5My fleshH1320 is clothedH3847 with worms and clods of dustH6083; my skinH5785 is broken, and suppurates. 6My daysH3117 are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hopeH8615. 7RememberH2142 thou that my lifeH2416 is windH7307; mine eyeH5869 shall no more seeH7200 goodH2896. 8The eyeH5869 of him that hath seen me shall behold me no [more]: thine eyesH5869 are upon me, and I am not. 9The cloudH6051 consumeth and vanisheth away; so he that goeth downH3381 to SheolH7585 shall not comeH5927 up. 10He shall returnH7725 no more to his houseH1004, neither shall his placeH4725 know him againH5750. 11Therefore I will not restrainH2820 my mouthH6310: I will speakH1696 in the anguish of my spiritH7307; I will complainH7878 in the bitternessH4751 of my soulH5315. 12Am I a seaH3220, or a sea-monster, that thou settest a watch over me? 13When I sayH559, My bedH4904 shall comfortH5162 me, my couchH6210 shall ease my complaint; 14Then thou scarest me with dreamsH2472, and terrifiest me through visionsH2384; 15So that my soulH5315 chooseth strangling, deathH4194, rather than my bonesH6106. 16I loathe it; I shall not liveH2421 always: let me alone, for my daysH3117 are a breathH1892. 17What is man, that thou makest much of him? and that thou settest thy heartH3820 upon him? 18And that thou visitest him every morningH1242, triest him every momentH7281? 19HowH4100 long wilt thou not lookH8159 away from me, nor let me alone till I swallowH1104 down my spittleH7536? 20Have I sinnedH2398, what do I unto thee, thou Observer of menH120? WhyH4100 hast thou setH7760 me as an object of assault for thee, so that I amH1961 becomeH1961 a burdenH4853 to myself? 21And whyH4100 dost not thou forgiveH5375 my transgressionH6588 and takeH5375 awayH5375 mine iniquityH5771? for nowH6258 shall I lieH7901 down in the dustH6083, and thou shalt seekH7836 me early, and I shall not be.
