# ***JOB 7***

---

*Job Continues: My Life Has No Hope*

\[1\] “Has not man a hard service on earth,

and are not his days like the days of a hired hand?

\[2\] Like a slave who longs for the shadow,

and like a hired hand who looks for his 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 arise?’

But the night is long,

and I toss and turn till the dawn.

\[5\] My flesh is clothed with worms and dirt;

my skin hardens, then breaks out afresh.

\[6\] 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 of him who sees me will behold me no more;

while your eyes are on me, I shall be gone.

\[9\] As the cloud fades and vanishes,

so he who goes down to Sheol does not come up;

\[10\] he returns no more to his house,

nor does his place know him anymore.

\[11\] “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 a sea monster,

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 my bones.

\[16\] I loathe my life; I would not live forever.

Leave me alone, for my days are a breath.

\[17\] What is man, that you make so much of him,

and that you set your heart on him,

\[18\] visit him every morning

and test him every moment?

\[19\] How long will you not look away from me,

nor leave me alone till I swallow my spit?

\[20\] If I sin, what do I do to you, you watcher of mankind?

Why have you made me your mark?

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.” (ESV)
