Job 7:6

6 My days pass by without hope, pass faster than a weaver's shuttle.

Job 7:6 In-Context

4 When I lie down to sleep, the hours drag; I toss all night and long for dawn.
5 My body is full of worms; it is covered with scabs; pus runs out of my sores.
6 My days pass by without hope, pass faster than a weaver's shuttle.
7 Remember, O God, my life is only a breath; my happiness has already ended.
8 You see me now, but never again. If you look for me, I'll be gone.
