Job 7:1-10

1Is there not an appointed timeH6635 to manH582 upon earthH776? are not his daysH3117 also like the daysH3117 of an hirelingH7916?1 2As a servantH5650 earnestly desirethH7602 the shadowH6738, and as an hirelingH7916 lookethH6960 for the reward of his workH6467:2 3So am I made to possessH5157 monthsH3391 of vanityH7723, and wearisomeH5999 nightsH3915 are appointedH4487 to me. 4When I lie downH7901, I sayH559, When shall I ariseH6965, and the nightH6153 be goneH4059? and I am fullH7646 of tossings to and froH5076 to the dawning of the dayH5399.3 5My fleshH1320 is clothedH3847 with wormsH7415 and clodsH1487 of dustH6083; my skinH5785 is brokenH7280, and become loathsomeH3988. 6My daysH3117 are swifterH7043 than a weaver’s shuttleH708, and are spentH3615 withoutH657 hopeH8615.

7O rememberH2142 that my lifeH2416 is a breathH7307: my eyeH5869 shall no moreH7725 seeH7200 goodH2896.45 8The eyeH5869 of him that hath seenH7210 me shall seeH7789 me no more : thy eyesH5869 are upon me, and I am not.6 9As the cloudH6051 is consumedH3615 and vanisheth awayH3212: so he that goeth downH3381 to the graveH7585 shall come upH5927 no more . 10He shall returnH7725 no more to his houseH1004, neither shall his placeH4725 knowH5234 him any more.
