Book 18 : JOB - Chapter 007
007:001
As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling
looketh for the reward of his work
007:002
So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights
are appointed to me
007:003
When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be
gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of
the day
007:004
My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is
broken, and become loathsome
007:005
My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent
without hope
007:006
O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see
good
007:007
The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine
eyes are upon me, and I am not
007:008
As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth
down to the grave shall come up no more
007:009
He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place
know him any more
007:010
Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the
anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my
soul
007:011
Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me
007:012
When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my
complaints
007:013
Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through
visions
007:014
So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my
life
007:015
I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days
are vanity
007:016
What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou
shouldest set thine heart upon him
007:017
And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him
every moment
007:018
How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I
swallow down my spittle
007:019
I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of
men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am
a burden to myself
007:020
And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away
my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt
seek me in the morning, but I shall not be
