Job 7

Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX

1 Is not the life of man upon earth a state of trial? and his existence as that of a hireling by the day?

2 Or as a servant that fears his master, and one who has grasped a shadow? or as a hireling waiting for his pay?

3 So have I also endured months of vanity, and nights of pain have been appointed me.

4 Whenever I lie down, I say, When day? and whenever I rise up, again when evening? and I am full of pains from evening to morning.

5 And my body is covered with loathsome worms; and I waste away, scraping off clods of dust from my eruption.

6 And my life is lighter than a word, and has perished in vain hope.

7 Remember then that my life is breath, and mine eye shalt not yet again see good.

8 The eye of him that sees me shall not see me : thine eyes are upon me, and I am no more.

9 as a cloud that is cleared away from the sky: for if a man go down to the grave, he shall not come up again:

10 and he shall surely not return to his own house, neither shall his place know him any more.

11 Then neither will I refrain my mouth: I will speak being in distress; being in anguish I will disclose the bitterness of my soul.

12 Am I a sea, or a serpent, that thou hast set a watch over me?

13 I said that my bed should comfort me, and I would privately counsel with myself on my couch.

14 Thou scarest me with dreams, and dost terrify me with visions.

15 Thou wilt separate life from my spirit; and yet my bones from death.

16 For I shall not live for ever, that I should patiently endure: depart from me, for my life vain.

17 For what is man, that thou hast magnified him? or that thou givest heed to him?

18 Wilt thou visit him till the morning, and judge him till rest?

19 How long dost thou not let me alone, nor let me go, until I shall swallow down my spittle?

20 If I have sinned, what shall I be able to do, O thou that understandest the mind of men? why hast thou made me as thine accuser, and am I a burden to thee?

21 Why hast thou not forgotten my iniquity, and purged my sin? but now I shall depart to the earth; and in the morning I am no more.

New Revised Standard w/ Apocrypha NRSA

1 "Do not human beings have a hard service on earth, and are not their days like the days of a laborer?

2 Like a slave who longs for the shadow, and like laborers who look for their wages,

3 so I am allotted months of emptiness, and nights of misery are apportioned to me.

4 When I lie down I say, "When shall I rise?' But the night is long, and I am full of tossing until dawn.

5 My flesh is clothed with worms and dirt; my skin hardens, then breaks out again.

6 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and come to their end without hope.

7 "Remember that my life is a breath; my eye will never again see good.

8 The eye that beholds me will see me no more; while your eyes are upon me, I shall be gone.

9 As the cloud fades and vanishes, so those who go down to Sheol do not come up;

10 they return no more to their houses, nor do their places know them any more.

11 "Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

12 Am I the Sea, or the Dragon, that you set a guard over me?

13 When I say, "My bed will comfort me, my couch will ease my complaint,'

14 then you scare me with dreams and terrify me with visions,

15 so that I would choose strangling and death rather than this body.

16 I loathe my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone, for my days are a breath.

17 What are human beings, that you make so much of them, that you set your mind on them,

18 visit them every morning, test them every moment?

19 Will you not look away from me for a while, let me alone until I swallow my spittle?

20 If I sin, what do I do to you, you watcher of humanity? Why have you made me your target? Why have I become a burden to you?

21 Why do you not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity? For now I shall lie in the earth; you will seek me, but I shall not be."
