Job 7 — ENGLXXUP
7
Verse 1
Is not the life of man upon earth a state of trial?
Verse 2
Or as a servant that fears his master, and one who has grasped a shadow?
Verse 3
So have I also endured months of vanity,
Verse 4
Whenever I lie down, I say, When will it be day?
Verse 5
And my body is covered with loathsome worms;
Verse 6
And my life is lighter than a word,
Verse 7
Remember then that my life is breath,
Verse 8
The eye of him that sees me shall not see me again:
Verse 9
I am as a cloud that is cleared away from the sky:
Verse 10
And he shall surely not return to his own house,
Verse 11
Then neither will I refrain my mouth:
Verse 12
Am I a sea, or a serpent,
Verse 13
I said that my bed should comfort me,
Verse 14
Thou scarest me with dreams, and dost terrify me with visions.
Verse 15
Thou wilt separate life from my spirit;
Verse 16
For I shall not live forever, that I should patiently endure:
Verse 17
For what is man, that thou hast magnified him?
Verse 18
Wilt thou visit him till the morning,
Verse 19
How long dost thou not let me alone,
Verse 20
If I have sinned, what shall I be able to do,
Verse 21
Why hast thou not forgotten my iniquity,
