Job
Chapter 7
KJV · Textus Receptus
Is there not an appointedtime toman uponearth? are not hisdays also like thedays of an hireling?
2 As aservant earnestlydesireth theshadow, and as anhirelinglooketh for the reward of his work:
3 So am I made topossessmonths ofvanity, andwearisomenights are appointed to me.
4 When I liedown, Isay, When shall Iarise, and thenight begone? and I amfull of tossings to andfro unto the dawning of the day.
5 Myflesh isclothed withworms andclods ofdust; myskin isbroken, and become loathsome.
6 Mydays areswifter than a weaver'sshuttle, and arespentwithout hope.
7 Oremember that mylife iswind: mineeye shall nomoresee good.
8 Theeye of him that hathseen me shallsee me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.
9 As thecloud isconsumed and vanishethaway: so he that goethdown to thegrave shall come up no more.
10 He shallreturn no more to hishouse, neither shall hisplace know him any more.
11 Therefore I will notrefrain mymouth; I willspeak in theanguish of myspirit; I willcomplain in thebitterness of my soul.
12 Am I asea, or awhale, that thousettest a watch over me?
13 When Isay, Mybed shallcomfort me, mycouch shallease my complaint;
14 Then thouscarest me withdreams, andterrifiest me through visions:
15 So that mysoulchoosethstrangling, anddeath rather than my life.
16 Iloathe it; I would notlivealway: let mealone; for mydays are vanity.
17 What isman, that thou shouldestmagnify him? and that thou shouldestset thine heart upon him?
18 And that thou shouldestvisit him everymorning, andtry him every moment?
19 Howlong wilt thou notdepart from me, nor let mealone till I swallowdown my spittle?
20 I havesinned; what shall Ido unto thee, O thoupreserver ofmen? why hast thouset me as amark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?
21 And why dost thou notpardon mytransgression, and takeaway mineiniquity? for now shall Isleep in thedust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
