Job 7
| |
| 7:1
Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also
like the days of an hireling? |
|
| 7:2
As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for
the reward of his work: |
|
| 7:3
So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are
appointed to me. |
|
| 7:4
When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I
am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day. |
|
| 7:5
My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and
become loathsome. |
|
| 7:6
My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope. |
|
| 7:7
O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good. |
 (7:7-9) All we are is dust in the wind.
Is death final?
(7:7) "My life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good."
(7:8) "The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not."
(7:9) "As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more."
|
| 7:8
The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.
|
| 7:9
As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.
|
| 7:10
He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.
|
| 7:11
Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my
spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. |
|
| 7:12
Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me? |
|
| 7:13
When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaints; |
|
| 7:14
Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:
|
 (7:14)
"Thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions."
|
| 7:15
So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life.
|
| 7:16
I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity. |
|
| 7:17
What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set
thine heart upon him? |
|
| 7:18
And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment? |
|
| 7:19
How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my
spittle? |
 (7:19) "Till I swallow down my spittle."
|
| 7:20
I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why
hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself? |
|
| 7:21
And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity?
for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning,
but I shall not be.
