CHAP. VII.
1 Iob excuseth his desire of death. 12 He complaineth
of his owne restlesnesse, 17 and
Gods watchfulnesse.
1
Is there not note an appointed
time to man vpon earth?
are not his dayes also like
the dayes of an hireling?
2
As a seruant note earnestly
desireth the shadow, and as an
hireling looketh for the reward of his
worke:
3
So am I made to possesse moneths
of vanitie, and wearisome nights
are appointed to me.
4
When I lie downe, I say, When
shall I arise, and the note night be gone?
and I am full of tossings to and fro, vnto
the dawning of the day.
5
My flesh is cloathed with wormes
and clods of dust, my skinne is broken,
and become loathsome.
6
noteMy dayes are swifter then a
weauers shuttle, and are spent without
hope.
7
O remember that my life is
winde: mine eye note shall no more note see
good.
8
The eye of him that hath seene
me, shall see mee no more: thine eyes are
vpon me, and I note am not.
9
As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth
away: so he that goeth downe
to the graue, shall come vp no more.
10
Hee shall returne no more to his
house: neither shall his place know him
any more.
11
Therefore I will not refraine
my mouth, I wil speake in the anguish
-- --
Bildads answere.
of my spirit, I will complaine in the
bitternesse of my soule.
12
Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou
settest a watch ouer me?
13
When I say, My bed shal comfort
me, my couch shall ease my complaint:
14
Then thou skarest mee with
dreames, and terrifiest me through visions.
15
So that my soule chooseth strangling:
and death rather note then my life.
16
I loath it, I would not liue alway:
let me alone, for my dayes are vanitie.
17
noteWhat is man, that thou shouldest
magnifie him? and that thou shouldest
set thine heart vpon him?
18
And that thou shouldest visite him
euery morning, and trie him euery moment?
19
How long wilt thou not depart
from me? nor let me alone till I swallow
downe my spittle?
20
I haue sinned, what shall I doe
vnto thee, O thou preseruer of men?
why hast thou set me as a mark against
thee, so that I am a burden to my selfe?
21
And why doest thou not pardon
my transgression, and take away mine
iniquitie? for now shall I sleepe in the
dust, and thou shalt seeke me in the morning,
but I shall not be.
