Job 7:1-6 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
1
"Does not man have hard service1 on earth?2 Are not his days like those of a hired man?3
2
Like a slave longing for the evening shadows,4 or a hired man waiting eagerly for his wages,5
3
so I have been allotted months of futility, and nights of misery have been assigned to me.6
4
When I lie down I think, 'How long before I get up?'7 The night drags on, and I toss till dawn.8
5
My body is clothed with worms9 and scabs, my skin is broken and festering.10
6
"My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle,11 and they come to an end without hope.12
