Job 7:2-12 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
2
like a worker who longs for the day to end, like a servant waiting to be paid.
3
I, too, have been assigned months of futility, long and weary nights of misery.
4
When I go to bed, I think, 'When will it be morning?' But the night drags on, and I toss till dawn.
5
My skin is filled with worms and scabs. My flesh breaks open, full of pus.
6
"My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle flying back and forth. They end without hope.
7
O God, remember that my life is but a breath, and I will never again experience pleasure.
8
You see me now, but not for long. Your eyes will be on me, but I will be dead.
9
Just as a cloud dissipates and vanishes, those who die will not come back.
10
They are gone forever from their home -- never to be seen again.
11
"I cannot keep from speaking. I must express my anguish. I must complain in my bitterness.
12
Am I a sea monster that you place a guard on me?
