CHAP. VII.
1 Job excuseth his desire of death: 12 He complaineth
of his own restlessness, and of God's
watchfulness.
1 Is there not note an appointed time to man
upon earth? are not his days also
like the days of a hireling?
2 As a servant note earnestly desireth the
shadow, and as a hireling looketh for the
reward of his work;
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, and note the night be gone? and I
am full of tossings to and fro to the dawning
of the day.
5 My flesh is clothed with worms and
clods of dust; my skin is broken and become
lothsome.
6 noteMy days are swifter than a weaver's
shuttle, and are spent without hope.
7 O remember that my life is wind:
my eye note will no more note see good.
8 The eye of him that hath seen me
shall see me no more: thy eyes are upon
me, and note I am not.
9 As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth
away: so he that goeth down to
the grave 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 restrain 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 whale, 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 note than my life.
16 I lothe it; I would not live always:
let me alone; for my days are vanity.
17 noteWhat is man, that thou shouldst
magnify him? and that thou shouldst
set thy heart upon him?
18 And that thou shouldst visit him
every morning, and try him every moment?
19 How long wilt thou not depart from
me, nor let me alone till I swallow my
spittle?
20 I have sinned; what shall I do to
thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast
thou set me as a mark against thee, so
that I am a burden to myself?
21 And why dost thou not pardon my
transgression, and take away my iniquity?
for now shall I sleep in the dust;
and thou shalt seek me in the morning,
but I shall not be.
