Job 7:1

The human condition

1 Isn't slavery everyone's condition on earth, our days like those of a hired worker?

Job 7:1 In-Context

1 Isn't slavery everyone's condition on earth, our days like those of a hired worker?
2 Like a slave we pant for a shadow, await our task like a hired worker. nights of toil have been measured out for me.
3 So I have inherited months of emptiness;
4 If I lie down and think—When will I get up?— night drags on, and restless thoughts fill me until dawn.
5 My flesh is covered with worms and crusted earth; my skin hardens and oozes.
