Job 7

1 Is there not a warfare to man upon earth? and are not his days like the days of an hireling?ERV — Job 7:1

2 As a servant that earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling that looketh for his wages:ERV — Job 7:2

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

4 When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise? but the night is long; and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.ERV — Job 7:4

5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin closeth up and breaketh out afresh.ERV — Job 7:5

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

7 Oh remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.ERV — Job 7:7

8 The eye of him that seeth me shall behold me no more: thine eyes shall be upon me, but I shall not be.ERV — Job 7:8

9 As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away, so he that goeth down to Sheol shall come up no more.ERV — Job 7:9

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

11 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.ERV — Job 7:11

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

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

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

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

16 I loathe my life; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.ERV — Job 7:16

17 What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him, and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him,ERV — Job 7:17

18 And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?ERV — Job 7:18

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

20 If I have sinned, what do I unto thee, O thou watcher of men? why hast thou set me as a mark for thee, so that I am a burden to myself?ERV — Job 7:20

21 And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I lie down in the dust; and thou shall seek me diligently, but I shall not be.ERV — Job 7:21
