en_RV1895 - Job 7 - Ozzuu Bible

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

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

³ So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.

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.

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

⁶ My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope

⁷ Oh remember that my life is wind: Mine eye shall no more see good.

⁸ The eye of him that seeth me shall behold me no more: Thine eyes shall be upon me, but I shall not be.

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

¹⁰ He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.

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.

¹² Am I a sea, or a sea-monster, that thou settest a watch over me?

¹³ When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;

¹⁴ Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:

¹⁵ So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than these my bones.

¹⁶ I loathe my life; I would not live alway: Let me alone; for my days are vanity

¹⁷ What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him, and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him,

¹⁸ And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?

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

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?

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.
