Job: My Suffering Is Comfortless

7"Is there not a time of hard service for man on earth? Are not his days also like the days of a hired man?H6635H582H776H3117H3117H7916 2Like a servant who earnestly desires the shade, And like a hired man who eagerly looks for his wages,H5650H7602H6738H7916H6960H6467 3So I have been allotted months of futility, And wearisome nights have been appointed to me.H5157H3391H7723H5999H3915H4487 4When I lie down, I say, 'When shall I arise, And the night be ended?' For I have had my fill of tossing till dawn.H7901H559H6965H6153H4059H7646H5076H5399 5My flesh is caked with worms and dust, My skin is cracked and breaks out afresh.H1320H3847H7415H1487H6083H5785H7280H3988 6"My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, And are spent without hope.H3117H7043H708H3615H657H8615 7Oh, remember that my life is a breath! My eye will never again see good.H2142H2416H7307H5869H7725H7200H2896 8The eye of him who sees me will see me no more; While your eyes are upon me, I shall no longer be.H5869H7210H7789H5869 9As the cloud disappears and vanishes away, So he who goes down to the grave does not come up.H6051H3615H3212H3381H7585H5927 10He shall never return to his house, Nor shall his place know him anymore.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 a sea, or a sea serpent, 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 my soul chooses strangling And death rather than my body.H5315H977H4267H4194H6106 16I loathe my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone, For my days are but a breath.H3988H2421H5769H2308H3117H1892 17"What is man, that You should exalt him, That You should set Your heart on him,H582H1431H7896H3820 18That You should visit him every morning, And test him every moment?H6485H1242H974H7281 19How long? Will You not look away from me, And let me alone till I swallow my saliva?H4100H8159H7503H1104H7536 20Have I sinned? What have I done to You, O watcher of men? Why have You set me as Your target, So that I am a burden to myself?H2398H6466H5341H120H7760H4645H4853 21Why then do 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 no longer be."H5375H6588H5674H5771H7901H6083H7836
