vw@Job:7:1 @ Is there not warfare for man on earth? Are not his days also like the days of a hired man?

vw@Job:7:2 @ Like a servant who pants for the shade, and like a hired man who waits eagerly for his wages,

vw@Job:7:3 @ so I have been allotted months of futility, and restless nights have been appointed to me.

vw@Job:7:4 @ When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise from the long night? For I have had my fill of tossing until the twilight of the dawn.

vw@Job:7:5 @ My flesh is clothed with worms and clods, my skin is hardened and cracked and oozes.

vw@Job:7:6 @ My days are swifter than a weavers shuttle, and are used up without hope.

vw@Job:7:7 @ O remember that my life is a breath; my eye will never return to see good.

vw@Job:7:8 @ The eye of him who sees me shall watch me no more; while your eyes are upon me, I am not.

vw@Job:7:9 @ As the cloud vanishes and goes away, so he who goes down to Sheol does not come up.

vw@Job:7:10 @ He shall never again return to his house, nor shall his place know him anymore.

vw@Job:7:11 @ Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the distress of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

vw@Job:7:12 @ Am I a sea, or a sea serpent, that You set a guard over me?

vw@Job:7:13 @ When I say, My bed will comfort me, my couch will ease my complaint,

vw@Job:7:14 @ then You scare me with dreams and terrify me with visions,

vw@Job:7:15 @ so that my soul chooses strangling and death rather than my body.

vw@Job:7:16 @ I loathe my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone, for my days are but a breath.

vw@Job:7:17 @ What is man, that You should magnify him, that You should set Your heart upon him,

vw@Job:7:18 @ that You should visit him every morning, and try him every moment?

vw@Job:7:19 @ How long will You not look away from me, and let me alone until I swallow my spittle?

vw@Job:7:20 @ Have I sinned? What have I done to You, O Watcher of men? Why have You set me as Your target, so that I am a burden to myself?

vw@Job:7:21 @ Why then do You not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? For now I will lie down in the dust, and You shall seek me diligently, but I will no longer be.
