Job 7

1 Hath not man a life of labour upon earth? and are not his days like the days of a hireling?DBY — Job 7:1

2 As a bondman earnestly desireth the shadow, and a hireling expecteth his wages,DBY — Job 7:2

3 So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.DBY — Job 7:3

4 If I lie down, I say, When shall I rise up, and the darkness be gone? and I am full of tossings until the dawn.DBY — Job 7:4

5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and suppurates.DBY — Job 7:5

6 My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.DBY — Job 7:6

7 Remember thou that my life is wind; mine eye shall no more see good.DBY — Job 7:7

8 The eye of him that hath seen me shall behold me no [more]: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.DBY — Job 7:8

9 The cloud consumeth and vanisheth away; so he that goeth down to Sheol shall not come up.DBY — Job 7:9

10 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him again.DBY — Job 7:10

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.DBY — Job 7:11

12 Am I a sea, or a sea-monster, that thou settest a watch over me?DBY — Job 7:12

13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;DBY — Job 7:13

14 Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions;DBY — Job 7:14

15 So that my soul chooseth strangling, death, rather than my bones.DBY — Job 7:15

16 I loathe it; I shall not live always: let me alone, for my days are a breath.DBY — Job 7:16

17 What is man, that thou makest much of him? and that thou settest thy heart upon him?DBY — Job 7:17

18 And that thou visitest him every morning, triest him every moment?DBY — Job 7:18

19 How long wilt thou not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?DBY — Job 7:19

20 Have I sinned, what do I unto thee, thou Observer of men? Why hast thou set me as an object of assault for thee, so that I am become a burden to myself?DBY — Job 7:20

21 And why dost not thou forgive my transgression and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I lie down in the dust, and thou shalt seek me early, and I shall not be.DBY — Job 7:21
