Job 7

The Message Bible MSG

1 "Human life is a struggle, isn't it? It's a life sentence to hard labor.

2 Like field hands longing for quitting time and working stiffs with nothing to hope for but payday,

3 I'm given a life that meanders and goes nowhere - months of aimlessness, nights of misery!

4 I go to bed and think, 'How long till I can get up?' I toss and turn as the night drags on - and I'm fed up!

5 I'm covered with maggots and scabs. My skin gets scaly and hard, then oozes with pus.

6 My days come and go swifter than the click of knitting needles, and then the yarn runs out - an unfinished life!

7 "God, don't forget that I'm only a puff of air! These eyes have had their last look at goodness.

8 And your eyes have seen the last of me; even while you're looking, there'll be nothing left to look at.

9 When a cloud evaporates, it's gone for good; those who go to the grave never come back.

10 They don't return to visit their families; never again will friends drop in for coffee.

11 "And so I'm not keeping one bit of this quiet, I'm laying it all out on the table; my complaining to high heaven is bitter, but honest.

12 Are you going to put a muzzle on me, the way you quiet the sea and still the storm?

13 If I say, 'I'm going to bed, then I'll feel better. A little nap will lift my spirits,'

14 You come and so scare me with nightmares and frighten me with ghosts

15 That I'd rather strangle in the bedclothes than face this kind of life any longer.

16 I hate this life! Who needs any more of this? Let me alone! There's nothing to my life - it's nothing but smoke.

17 "What are mortals anyway, that you bother with them, that you even give them the time of day?

18 That you check up on them every morning, looking in on them to see how they're doing?

19 Let up on me, will you? Can't you even let me spit in peace?

20 Even suppose I'd sinned - how would that hurt you? You're responsible for every human being. Don't you have better things to do than pick on me? Why make a federal case out of me?

21 Why don't you just forgive my sins and start me off with a clean slate? The way things are going, I'll soon be dead. You'll look high and low, but I won't be around."

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 militia est vita hominis super terram et sicut dies mercennarii dies eius

2 sicut servus desiderat umbram et sicut mercennarius praestolatur finem operis sui

3 sic et ego habui menses vacuos et noctes laboriosas enumeravi mihi

4 si dormiero dico quando consurgam et rursum expectabo vesperam et replebor doloribus usque ad tenebras

5 induta est caro mea putredine et sordibus pulveris cutis mea aruit et contracta est

6 dies mei velocius transierunt quam a texente tela succiditur et consumpti sunt absque ulla spe

7 memento quia ventus est vita mea et non revertetur oculus meus ut videat bona

8 nec aspiciet me visus hominis oculi tui in me et non subsistam

9 sicut consumitur nubes et pertransit sic qui descenderit ad inferos non ascendet

10 nec revertetur ultra in domum suam neque cognoscet eum amplius locus eius

11 quapropter et ego non parcam ori meo loquar in tribulatione spiritus mei confabulabor cum amaritudine animae meae

12 numquid mare sum ego aut cetus quia circumdedisti me carcere

13 si dixero consolabitur me lectulus meus et relevabor loquens mecum in strato meo

14 terrebis me per somnia et per visiones horrore concuties

15 quam ob rem elegit suspendium anima mea et mortem ossa mea

16 desperavi nequaquam ultra iam vivam parce mihi nihil enim sunt dies mei

17 quid est homo quia magnificas eum aut quia ponis erga eum cor tuum

18 visitas eum diluculo et subito probas illum

19 usquequo non parces mihi nec dimittis me ut gluttiam salivam meam

20 peccavi quid faciam tibi o custos hominum quare posuisti me contrarium tibi et factus sum mihimet ipsi gravis

21 cur non tolles peccatum meum et quare non auferes iniquitatem meam ecce nunc in pulvere dormiam et si mane me quaesieris non subsistam
