rsv@Job:7:1 @ "Has not man a hard service upon earth, and are not his days like the days of a hireling?
rsv@Job:7:2 @ Like a slave who longs for the shadow, and like a hireling who looks for his wages,
rsv@Job:7:3 @ so I am allotted months of emptiness, and nights of misery are apportioned to me.
rsv@Job:7:4 @ When I lie down I say, `en I lie down I say, "When shall I arise?' But the night is long, and I am full of tossing till the dawn.
rsv@Job:7:5 @ My flesh is clothed with worms and dirt; my skin hardens, then breaks out afresh.
rsv@Job:7:6 @ My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and come to their end without hope.
rsv@Job:7:7 @ "Remember that my life is a breath; my eye will never again see good.
rsv@Job:7:8 @ The eye of him who sees me will behold me no more; while thy eyes are upon me, I shall be gone.
rsv@Job:7:9 @ As the cloud fades and vanishes, so he who goes down to Sheol does not come up;
rsv@Job:7:10 @ he returns no more to his house, nor does his place know him any more.
rsv@Job:7:11 @ "Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
rsv@Job:7:12 @ Am I the sea, or a sea monster, that thou settest a guard over me?
rsv@Job:7:13 @ When I say, `en I say, "My bed will comfort me, my couch will ease my complaint,'
rsv@Job:7:14 @ then thou dost scare me with dreams and terrify me with visions,
rsv@Job:7:15 @ so that I would choose strangling and death rather than my bones.
rsv@Job:7:16 @ I loathe my life; I would not live for ever. Let me alone, for my days are a breath.
rsv@Job:7:17 @ What is man, that thou dost make so much of him, and that thou dost set thy mind upon him,
rsv@Job:7:18 @ dost visit him every morning, and test him every moment?
rsv@Job:7:19 @ How long wilt thou not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow my spittle?
rsv@Job:7:20 @ If I sin, what do I do to thee, thou watcher of men? Why hast thou made me thy mark? Why have I become a burden to thee?
rsv@Job:7:21 @ Why dost thou not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity? For now I shall lie in the earth; thou wilt seek me, but I shall not be."
