Job 7

Revised Version 1895

1Is there notH3808 a warfareH6635 to manH582 uponH5921 earthH776? and are notH3808 his daysH3117 like the daysH3117 of an hireling? 2As a servantH5650 that earnestly desireth the shadowH6738, and as an hireling that looketh for his wagesH6467: 3SoH3651 am I made to possessH5157 monthsH3391 of vanityH7723, and wearisome nightsH3915 are appointedH4487 to me. 4When I lieH7901 downH7901, I sayH559, When shall I ariseH6965? but the nightH6153 is longH5704; and I am fullH7646 of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day. 5My fleshH1320 is clothedH3847 with wormsH7415 and clods of dustH6083; my skinH5785 closeth up and breaketh outH5785 afresh. 6My daysH3117 are swifterH7043 thanH4480 a weaver’sH708 shuttleH708, and are spentH3615 withoutH4480 hopeH8615. 7Oh rememberH2142 that my lifeH2416 is windH7307: mine eyeH5869 shall noH3808 moreH3808 seeH7200 goodH2896. 8The eyeH5869 of him that seeth meH3808 shall beholdH7789 meH3808 noH3808 moreH369: thine eyesH5869 shall be upon meH3808, but I shall notH3808 be. 9As the cloudH6051 is consumedH3615 and vanisheth awayH5927, soH3651 he that goeth downH3381 to SheolH7585 shall comeH5927 upH5927 noH3808 moreH3651. 10He shall returnH7725 noH3808 moreH5750 to his houseH1004, neitherH3808 shall his placeH4725 knowH5234 him anyH5750 moreH5750. 11Therefore I will notH3808 refrainH2820 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 watchH4929 over meH5921? 13When I sayH559, My bedH4904 shall comfortH5162 meH5162, my couchH6210 shall easeH5375 my complaint; 14Then thou scarest meH2472 with dreamsH2472, and terrifiest meH2472 through visionsH2384: 15So that my soulH5315 chooseth strangling, and deathH4194 rather than these my bonesH6106. 16I loathe my lifeH3117; I would notH3808 liveH2421 alway: letH3808 meH4480 aloneH2308; for my daysH3117 are vanityH1892. 17WhatH4100 is manH582, that thou shouldest magnifyH1431 him, and that thou shouldest setH7896 thine heartH3820 uponH413 him, 18And that thou shouldest visitH6485 him everyH1242 morningH1242, and tryH974 him everyH1242 momentH7281? 19HowH4100 longH5704 wilt thou notH3808 lookH8159 awayH4480 from meH4480, norH3808 letH7503 meH4480 aloneH7503 tillH5704 I swallowH1104 down my spittleH7536? 20IfH1961 I have sinnedH2398, whatH4100 doH6466 I unto thee, O thou watcherH5341 of menH120? whyH4100 hast thou setH7760 meH5921 as a markH7760 for thee, soH1961 that I am a burdenH4853 to myself? 21And whyH4100 dost thou notH3808 pardonH5375 my transgressionH6588, and takeH5375 awayH5375 mine iniquityH5771? for nowH6258 shall I lieH7901 downH7901 in the dustH6083; and thou shall seekH7836 meH3808 diligentlyH7836, but I shall notH3808 be.
