Chap. VII.
Iob explicateth diuers calamities of mans life, and namely of his owne. 6. Supposing
it not likelie that he shal returne to former prosperous state, 15. desireth
to dye.
1 The life of man vpon earth is a note warfare, & his daies, as
the daies of an hyred man.
2 As a seruant desireth the
shadow, & as the hired man taryeth for the end of his worke:
3 So I also haue had vayne monethes, and haue numbred to
my self laborious nightes.
4 If I sleepe, I shal say: When shal
I arise? and agayne I shal expect the euening, and shal be replenished
with sorowes euen vntil darkenens.
5 My flesh is
clothed with rottenesse and filth of dust, my skinne is withered,
& drawen together.
6 My daies haue passed more swiftly,
then the webbe is cut of the weauer, and are consumed
without anie hope.
7 Remember that my life is a winde,
and myne eie shal not returne to see good thinges.
8 Neither
shal the sight of man behold me: thine eies vpon me, and I
shal not stand.
9 As a clowde is consumed, and passeth away:
so he that shal descend to note hel shal not ascend.
10 Neither shal
he returne anie more into his house, neither shal his place
know him anie more.
11 Wherfore I also wil not spare my
mouth, I wil speake in the tribulation of my spirit: I wil
talke with the bitternesse of my soule.
12 Why, am I a sea, or
a whale, that thou hast compassed me with a prison.
13 If I
say: My litle bed shal confort me, and I shal be releeued speaking
with myself in my couch:
14 Thou wilt terrefie me by
dreames, and by visions shake me with horrour.
15 For the
which thing my soule hath chosen hanging, and my bones
death.
16 I haue despayred. I shal now liue no longer: note Spare
me, for my daies are nothing.
17 What is man that thou magnifiest
him? or why settest thou thy hart toward him?
18 Thou
doest visite him early, and sodenly thou prouest him:
19 How
long doest thou not spare me, nor suffer me that I swallow
my spitle?
20 I haue sinned, what shal I doe to thee รด keeper
-- --
of men? why hast thou sette me contrarie to thee, and I am
become burdenous to my self?
21 Why doest thou not take
away my sinne, and why doest thou not take away mine iniquitie?
Behold now I shal sleepe in the dust: and if thou seeke
me in the morning, I shal not be.
