Job 7:1-11

1“1Is not manH582 2forcedH6635 to laborH6635 on earthH776, And are not his daysH3117 like the daysH3117 of 3a hiredH7916 manH7916?2As a slaveH5650 who pantsH7602 for the shadeH6738, And as a hiredH7916 manH7916 who eagerlyH6960 waitsH6960 for his wagesH6467,3SoH3651 am I allottedH5157 monthsH3391 of vanityH7723, And 4nightsH3915 of troubleH5999 are appointedH4487 me.4WhenH518 I 5lieH7901 downH7901 I sayH559, ‘WhenH4970 shall I ariseH6965?’ But the nightH6153 continuesH4058, And I am 6continuallyH7646 tossingH5076 untilH5704 dawnH5399.5My 7fleshH1320 is clothedH3847 with wormsH7415 and a crustH1487 of dirtH6083, My skinH5785 hardensH7280 and runsH3988.6My daysH3117 are 8swifterH7043 thanH4480 a weaver’sH708 shuttleH708, And comeH3615 to an endH3615 9withoutH657 hopeH8615.

7“RememberH2142 that my lifeH2425 10is but breathH7307; My eyeH5869 will 11not againH7725 seeH7200 goodH2896.8The 12eyeH5869 of him who seesH7210 me will beholdH7789 me noH3808 longer; Your eyesH5869 will be on me, but 13I will not be.9When a 14cloudH6051 vanishesH3615, it is goneH1980, SoH3651 15he who goesH3381 downH3381 to 16SheolH7585 does not comeH5927 up.10He will not returnH7725 againH5750 to his houseH1004, NorH3808 will 17his placeH4725 knowH5234 him anymoreH5750.

11“ThereforeH1571 18I will not restrainH2820 my mouthH6310; I will speakH1696 in the anguishH6862 of my spiritH7307, I will complainH7878 in the bitternessH4751 of my soulH5315.
