ULT JOB Chapter 7

◄ JOB 7 ► ║ ═ ©

7 Is not hardship to a man on earth?

And are not his days like the days of a hireling?

2 As a slave longs for shade,

and as a hireling awaits his wages,

3 so I have been caused to inherit months of futility,

and they have appointed nights of trouble to me.

4 When I lie down, I say,

‘When will I get up?’

But the night extends,

and I am full of tossings until dawn.

5 My flesh wears the worm and the clod of dust;

my skin breaks and festers.

6 My days are swifter than a shuttle,

and they end without hope.

7 Remember that my life is a breath;

my eye will not return to see good.

8 The eye of the one seeing me will not regard me;

your eyes will be on me, but I will not exist.

9 A cloud disappears and goes away;

so the one descending to Sheol does not ascend.

10 He will not return again to his house,

and his place will not know him again.

11 Therefore I will not restrain my mouth;

I will speak in the distress of my spirit;

I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

12 Am I the sea or the sea monster,

that you will set a guard over me?

13 When I say, ‘My couch will comfort me,

my bed will take away my complaint,’

14 then you scare me with dreams

and you terrify me through visions,

15 and my soul chooses strangling,

death, rather than my bones.

16 I loathe; I will not live forever.

Cease from me, for my days are vapor.

17 What is man, that you will magnify him

and that you will set your heart on him,

18 and you will visit him in the mornings

and you will test him in the moments?

19 For how long will you not look away from me?

Will you not slacken until I swallow my saliva?

20 If I have sinned,

what have I done to you, the one watching man?

Why have you made me a target for you?

Indeed, am I a burden to myself?

21 Why will you not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity?

For now I will lie down in the dust,

and you will seek me diligently, but I will not exist.”
