Job: My Suffering Is without End

7"Do not human beings have a hard service on earth, and are not their days like the days of a laborer?H6635H582H776H3117H3117H7916 2Like a slave who longs for the shadow, and like laborers who look for their wages,H5650H7602H6738H7916H6960H6467 3so I am allotted months of emptiness, and nights of misery are apportioned to me.H5157H3391H7723H5999H3915H4487 4When I lie down I say, 'When shall I rise?' But the night is long, and I am full of tossing until dawn.H7901H559H6965H6153H4059H7646H5076H5399 5My flesh is clothed with worms and dirt; my skin hardens, then breaks out again.H1320H3847H7415H1487H6083H5785H7280H3988 6My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and come to their end without hope.H3117H7043H708H3615H657H8615 7"Remember that my life is a breath; my eye will never again see good.H2142H2416H7307H5869H7725H7200H2896 8The eye that beholds me will see me no more; while your eyes are upon me, I shall be gone.H5869H7210H7789H5869 9As the cloud fades and vanishes, so those who go down to Sheol do not come up;H6051H3615H3212H3381H7585H5927 10they return no more to their houses, nor do their places know them any more.H7725H1004H4725H5234 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.H2820H6310H1696H6862H7307H7878H4751H5315 12Am I the Sea, or the Dragon, that you set a guard over me?H3220H8577H7760H4929 13When I say, 'My bed will comfort me, my couch will ease my complaint,'H559H6210H5162H4904H5375H7879 14then you scare me with dreams and terrify me with visions,H2865H2472H1204H2384 15so that I would choose strangling and death rather than this body.H5315H977H4267H4194H6106 16I loathe my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone, for my days are a breath.H3988H2421H5769H2308H3117H1892 17What are human beings, that you make so much of them, that you set your mind on them,H582H1431H7896H3820 18visit them every morning, test them every moment?H6485H1242H974H7281 19Will you not look away from me for a while, let me alone until I swallow my spittle?H4100H8159H7503H1104H7536 20If I sin, what do I do to you, you watcher of humanity? Why have you made me your target? Why have I become a burden to you?H2398H6466H5341H120H7760H4645H4853 21Why do you not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity? For now I shall lie in the earth; you will seek me, but I shall not be."H5375H6588H5674H5771H7901H6083H7836
