Job:7

Seeker Overlay ON

* [Is there ] not a warfare to man on earth ? [Are ] not his days also like the days of a hireling ? * As a servant earnestly desires the shadow , and as a hireling looks for his wages , * so I am made to possess months of vanity , and weary nights are appointed to me . * When I lie down , I say , When shall I rise ? But the night is long , and I am full of tossing to and fro until the dawning of the day . * My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust ; my skin is broken and has run [afresh ]. * My days are swifter than a weaver 's shuttle , and are ended without hope . * Remember that my life [is ] a breath ; my eye shall no more see good . * The eye of him who has seen me shall see me no [more ]; Your eyes [are ] on me , and I [am ] gone . * [As ] the cloud falls and vanishes away , so he who goes down to the grave shall come up no [more ]. * He shall return no more to his house , nor shall his place know him any more . * Therefore I will not hold my mouth ; I will speak in the trouble of my spirit ; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul . * Am I like the sea , or a whale , that You set a watch over me ? * When I say , My bed shall comfort me , my couch shall ease my complaint , * then You scare me with dreams , and terrify me with visions ; * so that my soul chooses strangling , death rather than my life . * I despise [them ]; I will not live always ; let me alone , for my days [are ] vanity . * What [is ] man , that You should magnify him , and that You should set Your heart on him , * and visit him every morning , trying him every moment ? * Until when will You look away from me , nor let me alone until I swallow down my spittle ? * I have sinned . What shall I do to You , O Watcher of men ? Why have You set me as a target for You , so that I am a burden to myself ? * And why do You not pardon my transgression , and take away my iniquity ? For now I shall sleep in the dust , and You shall seek me in the morning , but I [shall ] not be .
