Job7:1 "Do not human beings have a hard service on earth, and are not their days like the days of a laborer?
Job7:2 Like a slave who longs for the shadow, and like laborers who look for their wages,
Job7:3 so I am allotted months of emptiness, and nights of misery are apportioned to me.
Job7:4 When I lie down I say, 'When shall I rise?' But the night is long, and I am full of tossing until dawn.
Job7:5 My flesh is clothed with worms and dirt; my skin hardens, then breaks out again.
Job7:6 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and come to their end without hope.
Job7:7 "Remember that my life is a breath; my eye will never again see good.
Job7:8 The eye that beholds me will see me no more; while your eyes are upon me, I shall be gone.
Job7:9 As the cloud fades and vanishes, so those who go down to Sheol do not come up;
Job7:10 they return no more to their houses, nor do their places know them any more.
Job7:11 "Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
Job7:12 Am I the Sea, or the Dragon, that you set a guard over me?
Job7:13 When I say, 'My bed will comfort me, my couch will ease my complaint,'
Job7:14 then you scare me with dreams and terrify me with visions,
Job7:15 so that I would choose strangling and death rather than this body.
Job7:16 I loathe my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone, for my days are a breath.
Job7:17 What are human beings, that you make so much of them, that you set your mind on them,
Job7:18 visit them every morning, test them every moment?
Job7:19 Will you not look away from me for a while, let me alone until I swallow my spittle?
Job7:20 If I sin, what do I do to you, you watcher of humanity? Why have you made me your target? Why have I become a burden to you?
Job7:21 Why do you not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity? For now I shall lie in the earth; you will seek me, but I shall not be."
