Job 7:1-11

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.
